This is Not for You

One of these days, someone I know is going to stumble over this blog. Thankfully, I have not enabled comments. That does not mean I am not interested in what someone has to say; I just would rather discuss the topic instead of conducting a posting dual. I would love to know your thoughts, just not here.

This blog provide me an outlet. I am not fishing for "likes" or confirmatory comments, and the host is not selling my data. I can ignore Facebook and Twitter, and I can fantasize all I want about who is reading my post. If I hear something and wish to comment, I do, and a person who disagrees can pay Squarespace for his or her own blog.

Before I gave up social media as a comment platform, I would visit sites constantly to see likes, loves, and comments. I rarely posted anything inflammatory to avoid negative comments, which meant I could not be brutally honest much of the time. Plus, I am not a troll, and posting something just to piss people off is reprehensible. You know who you are, Oscar.

I also want to be nice when I post. A positive post can be boring, but I don't care. If no one reads this crap, my life will be a little changed.

This blog is for me, and if you enjoy reading a post or two, great. If it bothers you, go to Facebook. We all have to do what works for us.
