Musings & Stuff
Think. Speak. Write. This section of my blog is partly an exercise in critical thinking. I find value in clearly articulating my ideas in written form. Here's a post that explains why I write. Here's a video that elucidates why you should write. I mostly write in the first person and refrain from blanket statements and generalizations. My individual experiences wouldn't necessarily scale to a larger class of individuals; they may or may not apply to your situation. But I find personal stories better suited for engaging, impactful content compared to vague, impersonal reflections.
