What Have I Been Doing?

In the past month and a half, I’ve been working on my mental health. I’ve reflected a lot on things. This is the first time I remembered that I have this blog. Logging back into it wasn’t great, because WordPress has decided to be passive-aggressive about linking log-ins with social media. Obviously I can’t do that if I wanted to still be an anonymous user here.

Any time I feel like I shouldn’t have deleted my old blog (because it would let me log in normally), I get reminded of all the nastiness I had to put up with on it.

At any rate, I’ve been doing things I usually do around this time of year. I try to manage a garden. I’m still exercising (and down below 250 lbs, or 113ish kg, for sensible metric people). Though as of this writing I did gain a little weight due to a bout of stress eating. I’ve been working on finishing my fantasy novel, though that’s going slowly. My mental health fluctuates on a daily basis.

Part of me does miss positive interactions with random Internet strangers. I wish my brain would focus on that instead of the negative. Sadly, my brain does the opposite, and it’s hard for me to remember the positive exchanges with people.

Still, I’m not writing this post out of regret or nostalgia. I just felt like writing something here. I’m not sure if it will help or not.

So I Deleted My Old Blog

I was recently talked into restarting blogging after I deleted my old blog. To those who had any positive emotional attachment to it, I am sorry. For those who were happy to see the blog go, I am happy to have obliged. Regardless, the place was getting unhealthy for me to be around. And, well, I am known to delete things from time to time.

I’ve had a couple of months to reflect on things. I realize now that since my brain doesn’t work like a normal person’s, I shouldn’t blog like a normal blogging person. There will still be posts from me here from time to time. But I will try not to make the same mistakes that I made before.

Chief among them is that I won’t be doing comments here on this blog, at all, period. Comments became one of those nice things I just can’t have, because someone will find a way to be insufferable in them. I grew tired of seeing terrible people to show up and say silly things. It will be okay, though. I might put in a contact form, so people could email me and tell me how wrong I am. For everything else, the like button should work fine.

Mostly this blog will be random crap that I write from time to time. I generally will write about atheism and criticism of religion, world events, my fragile mental health, and anything else that comes to mind. It might go better than the previous blog. Or it will go worse.
