i have tried to start a "journal" type page on my website several times and struggled so much just on deciding what to share and not share that i ended up removing the page entirely.. ultimately i'm satisfied just having pages dedicated to things i like rather than anything else personal. i also find that writing about my life for an audience makes me way more self critical and i don't like it
i struggle with what to share all the time. when i'm writing blogs i think, why would anyone care about this? but then i go back and re-read and i'm glad i wrote it just for my own sort of documentation of my life. but i still struggle with how others are perceiving it.
I think my main worry is that someone from work will somehow find this and finally they will see beyond the mask I Gorilla Glue in place every time I have to be perceived by them. But now that I think of it, I'm not sure it really matters all that much given that I am not interested in sharing rated R or super emotional personal information anyway.
I really wish I could reply directly to people’s comments. But @projectc190 and @bigbrat, I find that writing about my life in bullet point helps me share things about my life that others might find amusing or interesting (which I guess is my goal in writing for an audience).
Like, you don’t need to write some big essay with an “important” theme. You can just mention something random that happened and leave it at that. Personally I find that type of mundane, silly observation to be very interesting as a blog reader. Just saying, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to blog. You can just write something you’d like to read.
(And if you do that, people probably will find it interesting. But even if no one is reading, the process of writing can still be fun for you. Hence why I generally only write when I'm in a good mood. If I'm going to cry about something in public, I at least want it to be entertaining for people. Lmfao.)
yes, i totally get you!! blogging can be whatever we want. i feel like we've all been substack-pilled lol. blogging can just be fun, no need for a thesis! also i def understand the worry of someone you know IRL finding your blog in the wild, hence keeping it semi-anonymous and why probably a lot of folks make neocities pages in the first place!

In the vein of "23th", my local Little Caesars for years had "TRY OUR 4-8PM" on their readerboard. I regret not photographing it.
