  • Revisiting Purpose

    It’s been some time since I’ve written here, and today I was reminded why. I’ve lost the purpose of why I started writing here, and I am quite sure now why I would like to start writing again.

    I want to write here to explain why and what I think about when I do the work that I do. This blog is a place for me to give the behind the scenes of my everyday life, including my everyday thoughts and things that direct the decisions I make and take on.

    If anything, this gives an explanation to the work that I produce, or the content that I express. Perhaps that’s the key too, that I could intentionally develop content both on here and Medium again.

    But yes, I will use this blog daily again, and to explain the things I am thinking about.

    I shall also start making things again, extremely motivated to do more after a great meeting amongst other creatives today. It is really a good place to be when other people are spurring each other on with ideal and pure ideas.

  • why?

    Having had a few blogs before and the usual attempts of trying to record my life in different ways, I find myself asking, why another blog and now on trisected.com of all places?

    And so these answers are for myself, more so, than for you, the reader.

    What does trisected mean to me?

    At random, the single word that seemed to describe the sense I get about my life. It was the equal division of three or more parts of my life. Whether they would come together wasn’t the question, but more of a decision to take them apart. And I guess at this stage, it’s a willful attempt to say that it has passed, and now my view of it is from the future.

    The splits

    Or the divisions, my head was toying with either word. But splits sounds funnier.

    The Creative

    The part of me that most people know, or recognize with. Joel the person who can design or draw or do letter things.

    The Christian

    The part of me that holds daily. Joel the guy who went to do Christian work, and is continually learning and growing. I am changed by what God has shown me about what he has done, and that makes me really consider and think through many things.

    This blog stands as that. I understand a little bit about God, and I don’t know, or I try to be as creative as I can be at the same time. These things might or might not come together, and most of the time, I feel only a small group of people do think through these different categories, trying to synthesize them. This blog becomes as a place for me to think aloud and document for myself how my thoughts change over the years.

    I don’t expect everyone to agree, but hopefully you would share your thoughts with me too, as I continue posting my different ideas and thoughts.

    Thanks for reading so far, and otherwise, do look forward to hearing more from me.
