I was watching this blog getting dustier by the seconds, that’s what :).
Seriously, I’ve been extremely busy this summer, slowly but steadily adapting to my fatherhood life. Any parent can tell you, Life is hectic. For me it’s the LONG daily commute, working hard for a game studio, preparing my next session as a mentor, taking care of and having fun with my lovely wife and kid, working on the house, training to stay sharp and healthy… All this without forgetting fun and friends, which I miss horribly sometimes.
I have less and less time for myself and for my personal projects and hobbies, even though my wife is doing everything to give me the most. It feels like life is finally saying: “Hey! You’re not a kid anymore. You want to achieve something, plan and work for it dammit!”
Well, Good.
Don’t get me wrong, I am having fun everyday, at work and at home with my family that I love more than anything. It’s a matter of re-balancing my schedule to please every facet of my life. Some do this pretty well without even having to think about it. It’s not my case, but I am learning! Basically, I learn to enjoy every moment to its fullest. For example, if I can play guitar for 2 minutes and play with my baby girl for 2 hours, it’s going to be the best 2 minutes of guitar and the best 2 hours with my kid. It’s not about time, it’s about quality.
So apart from that, what the hell have I been doing this summer?
Anytime I have a free hour, at lunch time, or at night when my wife and kid have gone to sleep, I jump on my laptop to work on a personal project. These times, I’ve been having fun with a little puzzle game which I’ll write about pretty soon, a cool experience to test my recent life-style changes.
It feels like I haven’t been writing here since spring, and it does! I’ll be trying to get back on track and come here as often as possible to share. This blog serves this purpose primarily, it pushes me to share my work, and not keep it for myself, I am a bit on the shy side. 🙂
Until then, have fun!
