Letting it sink in

Friday came along and brought the first ONLINE blog post. It had several entries before, but none of them were written while the website was available.

After almost two months of designing, writing content, formatting each page, editing images, correcting code and some other stuff, writing this entry is unbelievable for me. Somehow it feels like the culmination of a process that has been brewing for such a long time.

Honestly, it’s almost an emotional moment. I’ve had trouble with initiative my entire life, being afraid of taking chances, jumping into the pool without knowing if there’s enough water.

There are no certainties in life whatsoever. That’s specially true for us, those who make art, where there are no warranties of any kind. But it’s just like gambling: you can’t play safe if you want to win. If you’re gambling, you have to go all-in. There’s no other way.

This is why, somehow, this website belongs to everyone who’s stuck by my side all these years. Seeing it online is truly a personal triumph, and an open door to a much brighter future.

There are too many people to thank and mention, and I’d rather not do it cause I don’t want to forget about anyone. I do however want to thank my girlfriend Daiana. She’s the one who has to put up with the endless recording sessions, my obsessive compulsion with details, having to do those 10 extra takes because they were all either 20 ms too early or too late, without asking anything in return other than the eventual chocolate bar.

You must know there are so many, many people I should be thanking. I don’t do it only because of lack of space. You all know who you are and you know I DO know who you are as well; my love for you goes without questioning and there are no need for words.

Thanks to all of you for so much, and let’s shoot for the stars!
