Why Jake's Awkward Days Exists

This started as a place to write things down.

At one point, it was about getting through some very bad stretches and hoping that maybe something I learned along the way would help someone else. I don't know if it did. I stopped trying to measure that.

I stopped writing for a while because I didn't want to post filler or pretend I was progressing when I wasn't. I didn't want to turn this into content for content's sake.

This site is back because I want a place where things can exist without being optimized. Writing. Photos. Tools. Conversations. Some of it will be useful. Some of it won't. Some of it will just be honest.

I'm not promising regular updates. I'm not offering solutions. I'm not here to fix anyone.

I am interested in interaction, in shared experience, and in making resources available without the usual internet weirdness attached to them. That includes the chatbot, the live space, and whatever else ends up here over time.

If this place is helpful to you, that's good. If it's just something you pass through, that's fine too.

This is a personal archive and a public workspace.

Everything else is optional.
