I am not sure what it is about blogs but they always used to feel so nice. I used to have a rather long list of blogs that I used to visit all the time and for some reason or another I just stopped going which seems like such a shame. You get so much more from a blog post often, rather then that super fast flashy picture or reel or short that we just scroll through mindlessly, blog posts even when just photos seem to have just a bit more intent in them and are more easily consumed in isolation from others and so the content is easier to appreciate and memorable.
The pressure was never the same either and I wonder if that is because really people mostly have to want to either find your blog or stumble upon it and need to make a conscious effort to return, so the thoughtless opinion of others is less oppressive.
Any how I have not been here for a while but I thought I might bring it back out again as while I like to share my work and what I am doing (and at least 2 of my friends like to see it) I can’t handle the overwhelming nastiness and pressure that is Instagram and all the micro transnational social media platforms out there.
If you want to be here then welcome . . . If you don’t then great I appreciate you quietly leaving.
