#8 wow!!

its been a hot minute since i last posted here. im thinking of trying to use this site more again! (and im sorry but i def prefer to type all lowercase and often bad grammar bc its easier for me)

and its funny that my last post was about digital journaling bc... now im gonna talk abt it again! just wanna share an entry i just wrote.

SO, regarding journaling...

i might have said it already but why not repeat it since its on my mind — im afraid that writing a public diary aka essentially blogging remains my favorite way of sharing things and talking about things and processing things and communicating and connecting with others and so on. i guess thats just what works with my neurodivergent brain, even though i do try to do other things.

and so this is an issue sometimes because this type of thing is kind of solitary, even when the diary is public. no one cares, most likely, and thats expected. and you cant exactly make someone care. you cant even necessarily hope that anyone will read your entries. you just write things and send them into the void.

therefore, when it comes to wanting to share things this way, yes, that becomes an issue. although it may work if you do this via a space designed specifically for this type of thing. like LJ and similar sites, or Vent app. but again, i dont use Vent anymore. maybe i should come back to it? and then there was Spacehey but i abandoned it. so im just thinking that maybe i should explore it more. there are definitely options, the question is to find what you like. so far i still prefer tumblr for the public diary type of thing.

...but i really did like how well Vent worked for this purpose as well. it probably still does, i just didnt like all the changes that were made there at some point.

[gonna probably dump a bunch of other recent entries ive made here as well]
