## I'm Doing This For Myself First and foremost, this project is for me. I want to be more in touch with my feelings, to reflect on my thoughts and get better at being authentic with others. I want to better understand my beliefs and grow as a person. And so I began my introspection journey and documented along the way. This is my main intention for this project. ## Strengthen My Relationships Eventually, I realized these notes could also be a way for people in my life to get to know me better. And thus the publicly published nature of this private project came to be. So a second intention for this project is to open up to those closest to me. If you are one of the people who fit into this category, then my only intention in sharing this with you is to give you an opportunity to understand me better from my own perspective of myself. Additionally, I welcome you to be more authentic with me moving forward. I am open to having any conversations this might lead to. ## An Extended Introduction For Strangers In recent years, I've made it a habit to try a new hobby every few months. Each new hobby introduced me to a new community. And in those communities I made new friends, some of whom are now my closest friends. Grateful for the new friendships I've made, I plan to keep [[Making New Friends As An Adult]]. My third intention is to continue introducing myself to new people with the goal of making new friends. And in the situations when it feels right, I will share this project with them as a kind of extended introduction. If you are one of the people who fit into this category, then I am glad we crossed paths. I have no expectations for us to be anything more than strangers who shared a moment together, no matter how brief it was. Yet, I am open to continuing to get to know each other further if there is interest on your end. All you have to do is [[Get In Contact]].
