Restart

I dug up a design I’d coded and abandoned about a year ago. Brought it back last week. Still works. Made it WordPress compatible. Here it is.

The site restart is really about something else. I’m serious about university now—want to study webdesign—and I’m planning to end up in California or Japan when the opportunity opens. You don’t start learning languages properly for no reason. English and Spanish, the real kind, the living-in-it kind. You absorb more when you’re not studying, when you’re just writing and thinking in a language that isn’t yours.

Putting this blog in English fits into that. Write in a language and you internalize it faster than any classroom. The words stick differently. And there’s something about getting your actual thoughts into English instead of keeping them locked in German. They reach further. Germany was never going to have room for what I want to do.

I know some people will drop this from their bookmarks. That’s fine. I’m not writing for an audience that needs everything in their native language anymore. I write for myself now, in the language I’m learning, and if someone else reads it, they do.

The guestbook’s back up even though it’s half-broken still. I’ll fix it. The design is the one from before—I never stopped liking it, just set it down. Sometimes what you come back to was already right.
