I’ve Forgotten How To Blog

I don’t know how to blog anymore.

This blog has gone through so many concepts, themes, and resets that I’ve lost count. For some years, it has been a personal blog. For a while, it was focused on minimalism. I tried my hand at video game news reporting and enjoyed this, but I couldn’t keep up with the required speed.

But when I look back, I miss a personal blog to share thoughts and longer-form ideas. I don’t always have a place on social media to share longer thoughts, and social media also adds more stress to my life than I would like. I have reduced my social media presence to YouTube and Bluesky after I reached my breaking point with Meta’s hostility towards their users.

From today, I try something new. This is my space. I post whatever I want. The formats will be random and scattered. It may be a single video or a list. I will attempt to create an old internet experience for myself. I don’t want to relive the early days, but we gave up having our record of things for posts on social media. I want to bring that back home again.

The worst that can happen is another reset.
