A lot has changed, and much has stayed the same. Despite threading carefully, I still developed a small knee-injury that requires physical therapy and a more controlled way of working out. Personal training in small groups is the affordable and sustainable solution, it seems.

I have not missed an entry for [my monthly newsletter](https://mitchellens.ink/dialogue/) yet, though I did come close a couple of times the past few months. I have too many open loops and it's difficult to keep focus.

The traffic on my website has been tanking. I'm at 1.5K-ish monthly visitors right now. So I've been [writing](https://mitchellens.ink/blog/). About the things I care about and did a lot of thinking on. But the writing is difficult and strenuous. It wouldn't be if I kept focus. But I don't dare focus on one thing, for I fear it might be the wrong thing.

I'm working on [video](https://www.youtube.com/@MitchelLensink) too, again. Once I finish this Now-post I'll probably dive back into the edit. I've been agonizing myself for a month on that edit already. As if this one video will be the 'big bang' I am looking for, exposure wise. 

Perhaps that's what it is I'm looking for: exposure. But I believe exposure is earned, not given. And you earn it by doing cool shit that people care about. As long as the audience doesn't, at least not *en masse*, then the only thing left is to continue working. Hoping someday it pays off.
