      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>blog, blog, blog.</em> it’s 2022 and i still hate the word “blog.”</p>

<p>have a terrible day at work, cry when you get home, try 3½ blogging/microblogging services, 4/4 which seem to be made by men, possibly 4/4 made by <em>white men</em>…</p>

<p><em>…hate-read tweets and articles on (slash against) NFTs until 3am…</em></p>

<p>sounds like a great day</p>

<p>…<em>revisit WriteFreely.org by the end of the night.</em></p>

<p>oh my, it seems that most of what i write about is meta, and techie, and therefore, <em>gross</em>.</p>

<p>or not. i don’t know?</p>

<p><em>do i even exist without a blog?</em></p>

<p>i don’t know. i don’t really feel like i do. now that i’m actually committing to starting one again, i feel more relaxed. like i can put something on the internet again, and shape what i write.</p>

<p>but i worry. i worry my posts won’t be Perfect. they’ll be boring and not always perfectly curated.</p>

<p>writing, photography. all those things i did when i was in love with… <em>someone</em> i don’t even remember right now.</p>

<p>well, i’m an avid writer when i want to be. that’s not even true. i’m worried. i’m worried that i’m not saying the right words, the “perfect” words. oh no, <em>oh no, oh no</em></p>

<p><em>so much meta</em></p>

<p><em><strong>real</strong> meta</em></p>

<p>i think i need to make multiple spaces, make at <em>least</em> two spaces, one for “articles”, maybe another for “poetry”, and <em>this</em>...</p>

<p>if it&#39;s not an organized article, it&#39;s trash.
if it&#39;s unfiltered thoughts and feelings and journalling, it&#39;s <em>trash</em>.
if it&#39;s not meant to be useful to <em>someone else</em>, it&#39;s trash.</p>

<p>if it&#39;s not an organized article
whether from the perspective of “inspire others!”
or about racism, et al</p>

<p>if it&#39;s not <em>useful</em>
it&#39;s trash.</p>

<p>so every other blog i&#39;ve had
has ended up in the incinerator
because They Weren&#39;t Good Enough.</p>

<p><em>trash</em>.</p>

<p>it&#39;s 4:43am.</p>

<p>i&#39;ll</p>

<p>i&#39;m starting to realize that i&#39;ve just been... well, i don&#39;t want to say “<em>too</em>” angry.</p>

<p><del><code>Gh*st</code> is fine as a <code>CMS</code>. i <em>guess</em></del></p>

<p>see? this piece is not ONLY, this post is not ONLY, stream of consciousness, but it&#39;s a bunch of stream of consciousness about META, and TECH.</p>

<p><em>that&#39;s not true.</em> it&#39;s clearly about <em>feelings.</em></p>

<p>i feel exposed, and raw, but this is the <em>only</em> way i can function. for six years, because of something that happened in the latter half of my 25th year, i have been too scared to say anything, way too scared to even be <em>myself</em>: vibrant, etc.</p>

<p>i do think seattle is beautiful. but when i lived there, i never, <em>ever</em> had a close enough friend to truly explore it.</p>

<p>i&#39;m going to end this, i think this post is trash bc it&#39;s not perfectly written, or something...</p>

<p><em>i don&#39;t know</em></p>

<p>people tweet their feelings
instagram only has huge <em>declarations</em> of “vulnerability”
tweet tweet</p>

<p>tumblr tumblr
for sure
i sound like
a 13yo
and that&#39;s
okay.</p>
