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

maple.pet/blog/on-social-media

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

@mavica_again I’m on a journey to find the joy in the things I used to love (e.g. music, photography, games). A lot of it has involved moving away from tech or platforms I think killed my joy (e.g. phones, streaming). Some of it involves experimenting with things I’ve never had the opportunity to experience (your projects with gameboy-inspired filters and processing come to my mind in that regard). I really admire your creativity and it makes me want to keep working on resurfacing mine as well.

@anna i found that forcing myself to make even the smallest, most inane of posts on my forum, has put new ideas on things to do in my head. i've yet to find the time to spend on working on them, but at least they're written down somewhere now
