When we abandoned the gold standard, we lost more than money, we lost weight. Aredhall argues that value must be restored in our money, our work, and our dignity.
Trying to build a website without much coding experience feels a bit like wiring a house with the lights off. There’s trial, error, and the occasional spark, but that’s the point. Aredhall is being built in the open, one imperfect step at a time.
There’s something kind of funny about staring at a blank screen, trying to build a website when you barely know what a div tag is. You start confident, like, “How hard can it be?” Then suddenly the whole thing breaks because you forgot a slash, and you’re not sure if you’ve accidentally launched a blog or detonated a small bomb.
I’ve realized I’m not bad at starting things; I used to be, but now I know how to just jump off the cliff of uncertainty. I’m bad at the middle part. The discipline part. The “keep showing up even when you don’t know what you’re doing” part. But that’s the whole point of this first post, to keep going anyway.
So here we are. Messy beginnings. Shaky code. Way too many browser tabs open. But we’ll get there. One error message at a time.

We treat life like a game, “just start over tomorrow.” But tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Seriousness is how we reclaim agency, focus, and meaning in a world that’s forgotten how.
