i have written a post. it's long, entirely personal, and it makes me feel very vulnerable.

on socialization, social media and emotional maturity, or: how i learned to stop worrying and become the change i wanted to see in the world

i feel like people don't take it seriously enough when i say that my life is online and think i'm just being cute

the internet was never a tool or a distraction for me

the internet is my home and my home is being taken over and destroyed

that is perhaps another blog post i should write

@esm i'm really glad it's resonating with more people, thank you for reading it

@mavica_again most of my experience outside of computer is being unable to do anything while i get patronized, lied to, ignored, and scammed. i had friends in high school but none of them stayed in touch afterwards and the people i still know are in other shitty countries.

not sure what kind of online place i'm in that i could call a "home". maybe my group chat of 3 (active) friends? it's the only place i felt like i could reliably start and take part in conversations. only recently is there barely enough converation between other people for it to feel like a place and not just me messaging whoever looks at it
