The olden days

Got “recognised” by two different people on reddit yesterday as “that blogger” and god, if it hasn’t made me miss the olden days of blogging.

Write any old crap that comes to mind, publish, receive immediate feedback and support from peers and friends. Do it all again a few days later.

I’m not sure at what point I decided posts had to be “worthwhile”, when I stopped just throwing any old thought down on record. Maybe when I had kids and realised they’d grow up to read this absolute load of bollocks (Izzy, if you’re reading again, it’s not worth it poppet)

I’m not sure at what point social media became the preferred online time-sink instead of browsing and reading endless personal rambles and snippets from internet stranger’s lives. Maybe when those people grew up and got jobs and had kids and found something to do offline so stopped blogging too.

Huh, maybe it’s life before responsibilities I’m pining after, not the olden days of blogging. 😂
