Notes from a semi-reformed tomboy

Not too sure what my objectives are starting this blog, or if it’s something I’ll be keeping up. Or if it’s even something people still do?

I’m enjoying journalling at the moment but would like to see if I can put some thoughts into the world too. Not sure if that’s vanity or a deep rooted need for community bursting through from a building sense of loneliness. Maybe a bit of both.

I’ve got a whole period of travel ahead and want a little bit of a project to keep me busy too. Maybe blogging can fill the productivity void?

I thought about posting more on Instagram or making a TikTok if I really want to engage with people, but I don’t think photo dumps or 30 second quick bits can capture the intensity of what I’ve been feeling. Plus, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to graduate from cringe-level aesthetic delivery on social media. I want an outlet and I don’t really want to shove my face in front of people. Blogging feels like a good place for that.

I’m also fighting the will to keep my thoughts private vs. share them aloud. Feels a bit too vulnerable (and vain). But cheaper than therapy.

Fuck it, let’s give it a go.
