Today was a 404 kind of day. I stumbled into the hotel elevator at 3:45 a.m. to checkout. And I guess either the rat that greeted me was an employee, or the hotel really cut cost somewhere.

I almost never pay attention to my shadow. I wonder what it sees. If it sees the duality of man. If it sees life differently as my soul, and as the Ancient Greeks thought of it.

Who knows what would happen at day 365. Or 730, 1825, 3650, or 20,088. If I don’t post, then I’ll get lazy, I’ll become less attentive to life itself. (And it's probably the essential ingredient to art — attention).

I almost didn't think I could do Day 014. Certain days are just difficult. Difficult to do anything. And the morning I woke up to had its saturation turned all the way down. And I remembered that I also toggled life to hard mode, by committing to a project for 55 years.

I need to "unblock" myself. T.S. Eliot isn't more talented. He's less blocked. Shakespeare isn't more talented. He's less blocked. Jane Austen isn't more talented. She's less blocked. Donna Tarrt isn't more talented. She's less blocked.

It's tempting to live life or show it as more than it is. Especially when I'm working on a project like this. But the beauty is in the simplicity of it all — trusting that life will present interesting things to me without the need for any fabrication on my part.

The same books took on a different meaning. The same books collected layers of memories in each page. Funny how things never just remain as simple "things". And now, I look at all of these books here wondering:"Could I ever look at them the same way?"

There's something so ordinary about these quiet mornings. It draws my focus to the world. And the world is such a beautiful place, that it deserves all of my attention. Yet, I still don't pay enough attention to it…

I gave myself quite a bit of constraints for the design language of this site. Even little things like there's a rough word count limit of 250 words per page. So you would never take more 2-3 minutes to read a page…

I'm not sure where the idea for this project came from. But there's one thing I do know: There are so many unfinished projects in the folders of my computer. So many unrealized ideas in my life. This began to weigh on me after a while…
