Hi sunshines,
I'm writing in this new and slightly strange blogging micro-site to sort out my real, unfiltered thoughts on blogging at all. If you've been on my Weebly you'll know that this is a (what feels like) turning point type uncertainty: what is Lydia without her precious rambling space? Where would I be, without the place that it all started? Not just a week ago, plugging my 2021 goals, but 3, 4, 5, 10 years; finding refuge from life which only close friends knew?
I think that's the roots. Sharing life simply and honestly, for myself, and for people who are precious and whom I love. YouTube is kind of different. Of course I only do videos I like and find the processing of editing fascinating. I do it with the expectation of it being immediately public, to be ripped apart by the public if they desire. But writing- writing is raw, it goes deeper than the skin. It always has. And while I want to share that, and do light-hearted content people can browse for leisure, I'm not really sure the effort is worth it. You know what I'm saying? When the same kind of content like books and beauty can also be transported to videos, making it more dynamic, even nicer to consume.
Perhaps my more personal moments can be stored here. That's what I'm thinking. That if I were to continue blogging- because I do- it'll become once more just for me and friends. For us to chill out together like we're 15 and there's nothing matters but the sun, brilliant and shining, the smell of grass, rushing wind, and hope.
And it's really just this. Stripped bare, just words, with some designs when I can muster it up. There's limitations to this platform for sure, I can't even link to another website. But it could just be you and me.
So, what do you feel? If not my question on Weebly, how about here?
Waiting patiently for your thoughts. (But no pressure). :)
