A New Start, A New Blog
Now that I’m pushing 30 I have decided I need to start working on a project of some sort before I start to lose my mind. Keep the brain sharp and all that. I hope that writing, even in this loose format, will keep the dementia at bay. /j
I have no real goal with this. I have a few ideas to start but it will take a bit to implement everything. For example, I want to sell stickers/prints of a couple cool designs Hills has made so I’ll be setting up a lil online store. I also want to record and share the books I have been reading, either sharing PDF scans of the books or writing summaries or maybe both. For the blog side I mainly just want to write about whatever I feel is interesting or important. Maybe some updates on my life, thoughts on current events, or documenting weird things I find online. The ultimate point, truthfully, is to get myself off social media and stop the constant consumption of content.
As much as I love being online, like everything in life, too much of something can be detrimental. I’ve known this for years but have made little effort to make any significant change to my screen time. The last few years I’ve excused my many hours online by telling myself I’m doing it to document and understand the way the internet and social media are affecting our world. While that is in part true, it really is no different than someone mindlessly scrolling for hours if I don’t do anything with the information I gather.
Whatever this blog ends up being it will hopefully be a way to stop scrolling and start creating. We all need some sort of creative outlet and writing into a void in a longer format might be mine. Hope you will join me along the way.
Thank you for reading my first post!
