I'm not good with titles for blog posts, largely because I've never written one to my recollection. In other words, this is my first blog post ever.
I've been online for a long time and with that, from a debatably far too young age. Newgrounds, Gaia Online, Equipboard, ModularGrid, Dreamwidth, Spacehey, the questionable teenage Tumblr years that I still regret, so on and so forth... For all the time I've spent on these sites, I've never really interacted with anyone beyond platitudes and memes. I sure as hell never posted anything about my life or interests, either.
For a long time, my justifications were these:
- basic Net safety dictates you don't act as a self-doxxing moron when you're underage and/or too young to use the Web responsibly
- does someone like me really merit a blog? not in a self-loathing sense, but in a "I'm just a standard issue human being" sense
- if I were really so self-obsessed so as to blog so often with an unwarranted sense of superiority, I'd just fire up a Medium or Substack account
- I haven't the faintest clue how to interact with people on forums and message boards without seeming strange in belief or vocabulary/grammar
- the Internet is exhausting enough as is, I nuked my Discord account for a reason
Right now is still that "long time" in my eyes. I'll keep the rest of this post short.
I want to try to participate in forums more often and blog a little more. Not about myself as a person, but as a way to spit out thoughts and theories about my interests. If this sounds vague, it's because I haven't planned this much further ahead.
No need to. I'll just play this by ear and see where this takes us. I hope to find enjoyment in posting fun or thought-provoking matter and that perhaps, you might enjoy them too.
