# Why write? Why Mirror?

A year into learning about crypto, I am still very much a noob. Mirror is one of the projects that made me want to move beyond the theoretical and superficial, to putting myself out there.

For someone who has always loved to write, and always been scared to express herself fully, it provides a new way to share, crystallize, and clarify my thoughts.

I am moved by the magic in the day-to-day. I would like to use Mirror to absorb and document moments worth living through words.

Moments worth capturing, like most good things in life, are fleeting and ephemeral. They get lost within our memories, warped by our perceptions, and live on statically among ever-crowded pictures in social media platforms.

Writing offers the ability to slow down and process them. Writing on Mirror offers an outlet, an opportunity for creativity, an immutable record of what is worth capturing. I will create short vignettes, pictures painted with words, of such moments from my life.

Maybe what I share, think, and feel will resonate with others. Maybe just the act of writing will offer a different perspective. At the minimum, it will remind me to get out of my comfort zone.
