I never made a decent closure to all this nonsense, idk why I've decided to now but. I guess it's been enough years that it makes no difference, so that's easier.
This blog was a nice escape when I was a stupid teen going through some stuff, and even though I really wince and cringe looking back at it now I think it was maybe good for me at the time? Maybe. Regardless it was definitely a semi significant part of my life for a bit.
Sometimes I would see a note on an old post and become so overwhelmed with embarrassment at.. idk, being a kid with a stupid askblog, I would delete it, so sorry if you've ever gone looking for something and found it was gone.
I had a lot of important interactions through this. I made some online friends, got babys first anon death threat, and had some weird parasocial stuff peppered in too! All those big important internet lessons they don't teach you in cybersafety. So by the halfway or maybe even one thirds mark of this blog I was already having mixed emotions on it. But it was still my escape from reality, and like I said, I really did have some positive experiences from it.
Sometimes I think about fresh fresh resetting and going back to my original plan for this blog but. idk if I actually feel like that or if I'm just getting nastolgia twinges where my appendix-bursting pains should be.
I still don't know why I'm typing this! I think I'm just heavily avoiding doing my history work at this point and will do any form of journaling possible to put it off. idk. like and subscribe for more taspblog retrospectives and put YOURS in the comments below. click the bell for notifications in 12 years time when i find something else to say.
