This week marks the 10 year anniversary of this daily blog. In some ways it’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade and in other ways it’s hard to imagine a time when I didn’t write/post something every day. What a habit this has become.

A lot has changed since 2013.

Back then, I was still trying to find my way in real estate development. Instagram was only 3 years old. TikTok hadn’t been created yet. And the idea of writing a daily blog didn’t feel as antiquated as it does today. I probably should be vlogging at this point.

But here’s what hasn’t changed:

- I enjoy writing, and I think it’s personally beneficial — even if I don’t derive any direct benefits (such as money)

- I like having my own little corner of the internet that I control — instead of relying exclusively on centralized platforms like Instagram or X

Today this corner is brandondonnelly.com, but I suspect that brandondonnelly.eth will become just as important over the next decade. The world is heading toward more decentralization. And if/when that does happen, I’ll be sure to write about it on this daily blog.

Thanks for reading everyone. As usual, I’ll see you tomorrow.
