We’ve been here before. Adrian gets the desire to have his own website. A website is acquired, a blogpost or two is written, and then the entire project is abandoned so suddenly that a collective wince washes over every single individual struggling with borderline personality disorder.

I wasn’t ready to actively take advantage of a personal website back in 2024, when I first used the domain name of “tornholm.net”. Back then my life wasn’t exactly structured, and I was – unknowingly – at the precipice of an emotional storm that would wreak havoc on my psyche and nervous system. One severe event after another, without the chance to land and regulate in between. It built up to its inevitable cataclysmic conclusion; barely surviving some sort of collusion.

That disaster of an arc quietly transitioned into something else entirely, of comparable intensity. Have you ever met someone that you intuitively, and very early on, realized was going to change your life? Hopefully not! It became a very meaningful experience, full of the wildest ups and downs you can imagine. Simultaneously the most effortless, and effort-requiring relation imaginable. A two-way catalyst, bound by fate and circumstance to become what we needed, not what we wanted. The point I’m making is that this life form, this.. mere mortal, she inspired me to write again.

I find the idea of regularly writing blogposts very appealing. Writing always felt more meaningful when it’s sent out into the world. When you write for yourself alone, it’s as if it doesn’t exist. And I aim to make my mark on this world, to leave behind a legacy of creativity and thought, a compendium of human expression. This is the beginning of that.
