So, this is it. This here, is the website that I impulsively purchased when I heard that Substack was actually kinda dodgy.
I would like to add a quick disclaimer here, I did zero research into this personally, but I read it in a few different places randomly, and tbh, that was enough of an excuse for me to do this.
I have had a few blogs in my time. And by a few, I could probably count 10+, because my attention span can be rather short. And I always had new reasons for a new website. I did Blogger, Blogspot, LiveJournal, Tumblr (weirdly, Tumblr taught me a hell of a lot about acceptance and how to human better), a couple of WordPress pages, and a couple of personal websites with my own domain (one was called mypinktaco, I did not know then, what I know now ::angel::. I was a rather naïve young person).
You may have guessed, I like writing. I like sharing my thoughts with the entire world. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s begging for acceptance, maybe it’s wanting to be heard, maybe I’m just gobby and opinionated, who knows? But I am here, and part of me has been transported back to the early 00’s, when my life was a fuckton easier. It’s nice.
I have no direction for this website. Not really. As in, it doesn’t have a niche, aside from a personal blog.
I’m sure I will use it for business purposes in the future, but for now, it’ll be a bit of everything I do.
I’m thinking of vlogging the whole truck thing, so that will be shared here. Any poetry or creative writing, scrapbooking, crochet, knitting (if I actually start it). Fitness progress, running – and any events I decide to do – uni progress (if there ever is any). It’ll be a very mixed bag.
I will also likely share my struggles (of which I have many ::drama::), and problems. I know from previous experiences that sometimes me talking about this side of things has helped people, so I will continue to do that.
What I would love, is interaction. Comments, questions, requests (I don’t know what you would request like, but still). I am not au fait with how to get ‘seen’ as a blog/website anymore, but I reckon interaction would help, and views etc. I don’t even know. I’m not sure I really knew back in the day, I just threw a bunch of tags in the code somewhere in the hope that the Google bots picked it up and pushed it out there!
But I’m not here for numbers (yet), I’m just here to get my brain out ‘on paper’.
I am actually hoping that doing this will help my brain focus more, and be less noisy. If I can get the thoughts down here, then they are out of there, and with any luck, it’ll be calmer.
I mean, that and the HRT I am desperate to try!
Wish me luck.
(And ask me questions/say stuff!)
