A Hard Look at My Own Site: What’s Working, What’s Leaking, and What I’m Fixing Next

Standing on the Ledge

I built Standing on the Ledge while I was still standing in the rubble.

That matters, because it means the site isn’t a polished “after story.” It’s a living field journal—tools, notes, and small fires—written from inside the rebuild.

But if I’m going to take this project seriously, I also have to take the platform seriously. So here’s my honest critique of my own site: what’s solid, what’s messy, and what I’m fixing next.

What’s working

First: the core message is clear. This site is about collapse without spectacle—and rebuild without fantasy. You don’t have to read ten posts to understand the posture.

Second: I have a real entry point now. The Reader’s Guide exists for a reason: not everyone has time to decode a life story. Some people just need orientation and a next step.

Third: the best part of the site isn’t the writing—it’s the structure. The Tools (Protocols) page turns this from “my feelings on the internet” into something you can actually use when your life is on fire.

What’s leaking

The biggest leak is the front door.

Right now, the homepage is a river of recent posts. If you’re new, you’re basically tossed into the current and expected to swim. The menu helps, but it’s not enough. A site like this needs a sign that says:

Start here.
If you’re in triage, go here.
If you want one tool that works today, take this one.

Also: I can see a few “unfinished” tells that I need to clean up—small formatting artifacts and display weirdness that quietly erode trust.

What I’m fixing next

  1. I’m adding a Start Here block on the homepage that points people directly to the Reader’s Guide, the Tools page, and one strongest protocol.
  2. I’m tightening the About page so it has a plain-language anchor first, and then the deeper threshold framing. (Poetry is fine. Confusion isn’t.)
  3. I’m treating the Tools page like the flagship it is—linking it everywhere, and turning the “first 72 hours” section into something printable.

This is still a watchpost. Still unfinished.

But “unfinished” should mean evolving—not unclear.

Godspeed.

Lugh Sulian Standing on the Ledge · Rebuilding from the Rubble Lugh Sulian is a working name for a working moment. This profile exists to hold Standing on the Ledge: Rebuilding from the Rubble—an ongoing, real-time record of what happens after collapse, when old rules stop functioning and new ones haven’t yet earned trust. This is not myth reenactment. Not spiritual bypass. Not curated healing. It’s a field journal from the threshold. The name Lugh points toward skill, clarity, and responsibility carried with awareness. Sulian gestures toward sight—what can be seen when illusion drops away and pretending becomes too expensive. Together, they frame the posture of this work: to look clearly, act deliberately, and refuse to rebuild what already failed. Through short-form video, spoken reflection, and long-form writing, this project explores: Collapse without spectacle Responsibility without authority Burnout as a systems problem, not a personal flaw Pagan cycles as lived practice, not aesthetic Small fires instead of grand rebuilds This space is intentionally unfinished. It documents: Standing still without freezing Moving forward without rushing Learning from rubble instead of hiding it Unplugged-Pagan.com serves as the grounding—seasonal awareness, ritual stripped of performance, and meaning built from experience rather than doctrine. Standing on the Ledge is one expression of that grounding, focused on the human cost of broken systems and the slow work of rebuilding integrity. This is not a teaching platform. It’s a shared watchpost. If you’re here, you’re likely between versions of yourself—tired, alert, uncertain, and still standing. You don’t need answers yet. You need honesty, boundaries, and permission to move at the speed of truth. No conclusions offered. No certainty promised. Still on the ledge. Still watching. Still working the rubble. Godspeed. Optional Short Versions (for profile headers or bios) Short bio (Facebook / site header): Threshold work. Pagan-rooted, process-driven. Documenting collapse, clarity, and the refusal to rebuild what failed.
