Report Blog Entry
so i've saved SpaceHey's Random Profile Button on my bookmarks bar and have been fiendishly sifting through profile after profile. but it seems like most of the profiles i'm getting are new people or people who made a cool profile and then didn't post anything. also a lot of 14 y/o emo / goth aesthetics. so... not very productive.
holy SHIT this is where it's at. the random profile button because that is just a waste of time compared to the 23 tabs i just opened with different blogs to read. i am going to be cranking this shit.
and yes, i am addicted to spacehey. i'm addicted to knowing the lives of others, especially on the internet, and spacehey is finally a chance for me to read words instead of watch videos. something in me craves emotions, catharsis, suffering, situations and conditions. not just tragedy but anything genuine... people just happen to be most genuine when venting.
and some (admittedly dumb) parasociality has me hooked too. like, maybe my long, thought-out comment will have some impact? maybe my past experiences can relate? maybe sharing my thoughts can do something? or maybe it's just gratifying...
it's 10 p.m. i need sleep. i need time. i have so much to stress about. yet i just discovered a bunch of blogs and they're being posted faster than i can possible read them. i want to interact.
so i shall.
all this to say, please write blogs when you're feeling down. writing helps, diaries help, and if you diary on spacehey a weird 17 y/o might look at it and want to be friends.
just an idea.

[update]
it is now 11 p.m.
i've realized i am incredibly sleep deprived.
i think i spend too much time on this thing
it's hard to reach a balance
i think i should limit myself to 1 hour a day... 40 minutes blog scraping and 20 minutes replying to people or writing here
maybe i'll find a firefox plugin that tracks time spent on sites...
i am so tired
brain is for sure melting if not all melted by now
too much screen is bad
aaa
why do i love these things
i ought to be gone
bye

i'm so pleased every time i read the blogs page..it's so different on here compared to other sites (instagram, facebook, twitter, etc) because i'm actually reading full on words put together by someone instead of reposted a million times across platforms and barely even discernable. it's nice to see poetry, art, music and more posted on here instead of the same cat video reshared over multiple different soul-less accounts just in it for the cash money.
i love that spacehey's html style and lack of algorithm makes it both harder and easier to reach people... harder to (cheaply) reach a wider audience but easier to connect deeply with someone, even if parasocially.

It's so hard to find creative/actually fun blogs to read here, but I come back every time to see if there's any, it's like trying to get milk from a stone.
for me, it helps to look through the life category and skim through the titles and blurbs on the pages. depends on what you're looking for though...

I was struggling so hard looking through a bunch of profiles that are all 14 yr olds T.T no offense to them but not rlly interested in being friends with them lol. I guess I should start looking thru more blogs. I totally get what ur saying about liking to read other peoples thoughts I am the same way.
yeah it's kind of touching (emotionally) to read other people's blogs but it's also addicting for me, maybe because i feel like i'm interacting with or contributing to something
thank you!!
