I found myself thinking about the first time I started this blog. I was in undergrad, reading Blog, Inc. and Share Your Work! It was the early 2010s, before IG was the powerhouse it is now, before ads were littering my FB feed.
I remember logging onto FB every day to see what my “friends” were up to, to stay up on the trends, to let my mind wander during class. It’s strange to think that people are ready to throw these major platforms away in 2021, and I see that happening somewhere in the near future.
I’ve had this blog for awhile, but I’ve never capitalized on it. This is the only place online that I can manage myself without “violating community guidelines.” I think I’m going to start posting here first, then throwing my content onto these social platforms. My captions can be super long, I can share a random poem, I can just post a picture. Those that want to come along for the ride can tune in whenever they’d like.
This is my piece of real estate on the web, but there are no bounds. Me gusta.
