Practice
Dear friend
I made a promise to myself that this year was the year I would get my shit together in all areas of my life. I don't make new years resolutions, but this one was important for me to do. I'd like to share something that I've been in the process of accomplishing which aligns with that goal. It's something that, at first glance, seems comparatively small. But it's something that is meaningful to me and has actually helped to serve as an effective self-soothing technique.

Dear friend
I don't know if you're reading any of this. Maybe you are, I don't know.
Honestly I don't write with the intention that you, nor anyone else for that matter, read it. I write with the intention of putting my thoughts out in the open in a place I can call my own. It's why I have comments disabled on my personal posts and not my code posts – on my code posts I want people to interact, and give feedback, and correct me. But posts like this? This is me. This is my journey. The only one correcting me will be myself, and anyone who wants to talk about any of this can message me privately.
The butterfly effect
Dear friend
This morning I've been thinking about how things in life have a chain reaction that ripple out for the rest of your days. It's interesting to ponder how one small thing is the cause of so much. For me, I can identify such a pivotal moment in my life. This is the story of how Habbo Hotel caused me to learn computer science.
MonoBehaviours DO support constructors
Quite often, I come across people who are under the impression that a class which inherits MonoBehaviour cannot or should not define a constructor. If you are one of those people then buckle up. I'm going to dispel this myth once and for all.
Something for me
Dear friend
For the longest time, I was never able to find something to do for myself; for my own sake. My intentions are, and always have been, around what I can do for others.
