Little Universe

Some of you know I recently started a blog on WordPress called The Wonderer. I described it as “A blog for those who like to go on little brain journeys – no map provided.”

What I was trying to do was force my blog into a theme: a targeted space for people who like to think and wonder about things. The last thing I wanted was to create an unstructured, unpredictable pile of content with no clear aims. I didn’t want to be one of those bloggers who waxes lyrical about my mediocre breakfast and expects people to care. So I figured a theme would help me focus and ensure you know what to expect.

The trouble is, the ‘wonderer’ angle never really sat right with me, despite being such a general theme with space for many topics. Yes, I do ponder and postulate, ruminate and reflect. But that’s not all. I also have perspectives and views that come from lived experience and rigorous observation. And I think they are worth reading too.

When it comes down to it, what I really want is a place to share what’s in the little universe inside my head. You’re invited to join me, but as with any invitation, it’s entirely up to you whether you accept. And if you do, I’m grateful.
