An Article Finished 10 Years After

 

For some, the justification of this post might annoy you.
But I'm just writing for the heck of it.
Read at your own risk.
You know how people are so much cooler on the internet, right?

Well, I've deciphered a great deal of reason as to why they present
themselves in a different way online.

No Eureka moment here.
Just a 22-year-old blabbering.


Hi. I’m actually 32 years old now. I found this blog logged in on my new laptop. It’s all a bit mysterious because I didn’t intend to revisit it. In a moment of ADHD frenzy, I might have logged in and forgotten why. I was searching for my old photos to update my portfolio, and this blog came to mind.


So, here we are. I don’t even remember what I wanted to write about back then. I probably thought it would be important ten years later. Clearly, it wasn’t, and I wish I had written that article back then so I could remember why I was so determined to share my thoughts. And why I was so determined to warn my sister - the only person who reads my blog posts I think lol


I don't think this blog will ever get the traction I wanted it to have when I was in my 20s. Lots of things have changed since then. There's Substack, Instagram, TikTok, and Threads - all of which I'm in but never really feel comfortable in.


Somehow, the orange logo of Blogger and the blinking cursor make me feel at home. The many nights I've edited my photos to have a vintage feel to them, added them to this document(?), and wrote about my outfits were nights I cherish until now.


And I guess all I'm saying is that as I hit that publish button - in a couple of minutes, without any fear of being seen, judged, or ignored by anyone... I'll have done my younger self proud. That thought definitely makes me smile.


To memorialize my come back to my old love: blogging, here is a 10 year side by side of my photo :)

Feel Good List : 10 Things You Can Do For You #SelfLoveSeries

Hello and welcome back! Coming at you straight away with 10 little things you can do to give in little kicks of self-care and self-love. Some are quite personal but you can try them out and share with me your thoughts about it. This might not be for everyone but I'm still excited for the ones who can relate. Let's get started! 1 . Watch a movie alone. Like, literally alone. No social media posts, no telling a bunch of people that you're going to watch a movie alone, now whatever. It makes the experience private and special. 2.  Listen to Ted Talks. You're learning + getting inspiration. It's a win-win situation. 3 . Listen to a podcast that talks about things you genuinely care about. Currently, I'm listening to The Minimalists podcast by Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn. 4 . When you're travelling home from work and have the chance to see the sky as you walk to your bus stop or any terminal or anytime you have the chance to lo...

In A World of Mindless Monsters

It's not like I need another online outlet to blabber about my issues, right? And just like any other millennial, I too have a blog I have forgotten since I stopped having free time and "life" started to happen.  But now that life really is starting to happen, I revert back to this blank page. To this blinking dash on my screen waiting for me to write the next word that pops into my mind. I guess, that apart from my ego, this blinking dash is the only thing that is waiting for me to write again. Ah, writing. What a fun anecdote. I think of writing in the form of success. Books after book written into being a New York Times Bestseller *crowd goes wild!* or a story that goes viral because of witty writing. But right now, writing is this. An outlet for a 20-something, hardly making it millennial that doesn't have much to say except, life's a fucking bitch. Because in a world of mindless monsters, including myself, I still find the world to be so mind-boggling that ca...

Resistance

Ahh, here it goes again. I'm once again not wanting to do anything. I mean, I want to do stuff but not the ones I have to. I think I should just start now instead of later. So I can get it over with. I am now just realizing how I don't like this.
