I'm Almost Done
I think I might be nearly done with this blog. Part of me is disappointed that I am giving it up. The other part of me is surprised I had enough posts to last this long. I just feel like... I don't have much more to say.
The shadow ban sapped some (not all) of my motivation here. But it's not the main reason. The main reason is just that I think I've said it all. I didn't have a plan when I started this thing. Just that I wanted to reserve a space to post something. I didn't know what that would be exactly. But I feel like I hit my stride, made some solid posts, got a couple of readers, got nuked from orbit by the mods, continued posting, and now I'm here.
How much can one person really post? I've made ~150 posts over the course of ~15 months. That's ~10 a month. I never even realised I was posting so much haha. But I think it's just not sustainable anymore. Maybe I'll write a few more posts. Maybe a few more poems. Maybe a few more music recs (those are fun and easy). But it hit me the other day that I'm just posting into the void. Back when I was on the Discover page, sure I hardly got any views, but it felt like there was always the chance that my post got traction. And some of them did. But after the ban... well it just feels impotent.
All in all, I think I had a good run. It's not the end (yet), but I just want to say thanks to everyone who read any of my posts. I'd say I did it all for you... but that's not true, I did it for myself too haha.
Yours Truly,
