I keep wanting to start this blog, but I overthink it and don't get around to it, so I'm finally just forcing myself to start it so I can attempt to get around my perfectionism. I can't express super well what this blog will be other than me trying to put my thoughts down in a form that other people can read. I expect the only people who will be interested in this blog will be people interested in me (either people who already know me well, especially those interested in my transition to Orthodoxy, or people looking to get to know me like new friends or coworkers).
The primary thrust of this blog will likely be my thoughts on Orthodoxy and how it interacts with "the West", but my interest in Southeast Asian pop-culture may also sometimes trickle onto here (we'll see as time goes on).
A lot of my thoughts these days take the more 'negative' form, in my questioning of the Western worldview, rather than expressing the positive side of Orthodoxy. My putting those thoughts here is somewhat by design because you really shouldn't learn about Orthodoxy from some random blog, but if I can intrigue you enough to want to look into it more that is great. Go find a local Orthodox church where people live the faith and then combine that with reading the Church Fathers and you'll be set.
That's all I can think of for now, so onto the next post where I'll put down some actual thoughts.
