I don't have to
posted on:
I've been thinking about social media and the web, and how to be in it a lot recently. While in the shower, brushing teeth, combing hair, folding laundry, washing dishes, cooking, making coffee, on my way to work, at work, in the supermarket, in bed before falling asleep. I tried to form these thoughts and feelings I have into words and those words into coherent sentences. I tried to bring these sentences into some kind of order that made sense. I tried to find a through line. I wrote paragraphs after paragraphs, copy and pasted segments around, deleted parts or everything, started over and over and over. For weeks and weeks I tried to write a blog post that explained how I want to use social media and my website, and how I do not want to use it.
And then one moment, while brushing teeth btw, it hit me: I don't have to.
I don't have to.
I simply don't have to.
And then I stopped thinking about it.
