4-15-2024: Day 1

It’s been on my heart to start a personal blog for a while now. I have no real interest in posting on social media anymore, but there is an urge to create. I’m just not sure what yet. So, this is the space I’m using to figure that out.

Social media has become very saturated and solely a place for marketing and consumption for me. The thought of posting regularly on any social media platform doesn’t resonate with me. I think social media can be a cool way to connect with others, but might not be the best place to find your own voice. I just wanted a safe space to share thoughts, photos, and document the small things in my life, without feeling like I need to niche down or fit a certain mold for the algorithm. Which is why I have decided to pay for internet real estate.

There’s one way that I want to go about this. Ideally, a post/ day. Could be a picture, could be an excerpt of something I read, could be a restaurant review. Anything that stuck out for the day. And I know that may result in a bunch of useless, crappy content, but this space on the internet really isn’t for anybody but me.

This is not a diary. This is a tool that I’m using to express myself in a way that is authentic to me and my personal journey.

It will be messy, probably very boring at times. The appearance of this site will probably change a thousand different times. But I’m ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and expression through blogging.
