Too Many Choices

Self-expression in a format that’s very forgiving (I want to go into it thinking- this is my diary, everything is a rough draft, a work in progress that I could later on use the skeletons for in a book or other “real” publication, or until I build a big enough following that I actually feel the need to make more polished posts. I don’t think of myself as particularly creative, but I do have a lot of thoughts about various topics and aspire to be able to put pen to paper metaphorically. I like the idea that reading, writing, and running (my favorite form of exercise) is very accessible to most people, but to do any of them well, it just takes a lot of trial and error.

There is so much content, information, and stuff out there nowadays. I feel like everyone, including me, has thoughts and opinions that they want to express in some way, in other words, a lot to yap about it. But for my own sanity, at least for now, I don’t want to be an “influence” because I’m trying to stay off of TikTok, Instagram, and even YouTube rabbit holes just end up giving me more anxiety. I even thought about starting a podcast, but that also seems overwhelming, plus most interesting podcasts require more than 1 person to be talking. So instead, I’m going to take it back to the basics of writing.

Anyone who actually reads this blog intently, thank you, you have a lot of patience. I wish the best for you, and hope you find more clarity and certainty in your life as well. Also apologize in advice if I don’t actually interact with you blog, it’s not personal, it’s just me trying to minimize the content I consume and avoid feeling overwhelmed, or the impulse to compare.
