One of the things I want to start doing in 2025 is post semi-regularly on Dreamwidth. I thought I'd figure out by now what exactly that's going to look like for me, but alas, it's already February, and I'm improvising here.
That’s fine. 2024 taught me that I really need to learn to recognise when it’s better for me and the goal at hand to set the bar low and let go a little bit. Among some other lessons, but we don’t have the time to unpack all that in this post.
So, in other words, this is me trying to vibe. I've discovered that, contrary to what I like to believe, I am not a natural viber. I am rather bad with uncertainty, and when my attempts at controlling it inevitably fail, I instantly jump to worse-case scenarios. Posting here is supposed to be low stakes. I don’t want to put pressure on myself to “achieve” anything specific for now. Just sit down in front of the screen every now and then and see what topics find me. See? Vibing.
Also, I kind of miss old-school blogging, even though I've never been a very active blogger. These days the internet feels like such an intense, loud, and often hostile place where everyone should be aiming to sell something. I think platforms like Dreamwidth might still retain the sense – for me, at least – that you can either safely throw your thoughts into a void or talk to people on a manageable scale. I get shy talking to people on the internet, anyway, but I hope to get over that.
