In the beningin.. In the, beninging… beginging. Anyway.

I don’t know how to write. Never did. I am not even sure what the point is starting (continuing) a blog in the year 2024. Looks like everybody and their grandma is on instagram anyway. But something just doesn’t sit right with traditional social media with me. I deleted facebook 5-6 years ago and never looked back. I sadly lost contact with a few friends and some acquaintances, like, you know, that one dutch girl that you met in a hostel in Prague in late September 2015. But what is the point of being “friends” on facebook and not interacting anymore anyways. So i guess its just to be reminded that some people still exist. Instagram is a bit better here but it really went downhill in the past years. I do struggle a lot with internet addiction, and instagram is a bottomless pit of doomscrolling. I hate it, I really do. It was a great platform to share a few pics here and there, to keep in touch with friends. Sadly its overrun with influencers and bots nowadays. I still have a profile where I occasionally upload something, but I am trying to keep away from it. It would be perfect if there was an app which could just forward me the messages from there onto a central messaging app. Lets hope that interoperability between various messaging platforms will come soon. So yes, the year is 2024, and one of my new years resolution is to write more, so why not online then?
