Bet you thought personal blogs went out in the late ’00s.
I never did keep up with what the cool kids were doing.
So, this is kind of like keeping a diary, but not quite because I can edit misspellings, rearrange for readability, add in things I’d forgotten about, include photos that won’t fall off the page, and let the whole world see this if they want to without me having to watch them reading it. Glob knows people found and read my diaries and journals every fucking time I turned around over the years when I was keeping them on paper. At least this way I get a say in it.
And remember, kids: It’s only defamation if you can prove it’s not true.
And because it probably needs said:
I probably would have ended up doing something like this anyway. I’ve been writing my whole life. But it’s safe to say that what writing I do might have had an entirely different character had people ever been inclined to LISTEN to me without weaponizing my words or punishing me for them.
If you don’t like what I write here, YOU are probably one of the reasons I’m writing it. If you want a different outcome, you have to change your behavior. Want good material here? GIVE ME THE MATERIAL.
I would love that. I really would. I LOVE when things go well in my life. Could you help me get there, please? Thanks.
