Standard Generic Post TItle. (Wow! So Original!)

Does this post really need a title? This is kind of a check-in post. Honestly, who knows? At the time this posts, the month of June will be over, and July will have already begun. If you’re seeing this and there are more than ten posts on this blog, I am doing pretty well.

Writing these posts in bulk has kind of made generating content easier for me. Because then I don’t have to worry about writing posts for the day of. So it’s like the opposite of college. I have really enjoyed doing it all too. And people are reading, which is also super encouraging.

Over this past month, you’ve probably seen quite a bit from me. Posts about my queerness, favorite horror things, favorite LGBTQ+ stories and authors… Honestly, I shared a lot of things. And honestly, after a month of making so much content for my new blog, I think it’s a good idea to reflect on what I want out of this.

I started this new blog to get myself back into a habit of blogging and journaling my thoughts, but it also goes so much deeper. I have lived my life worried about the type of content people connect me to. But I hide so much of myself in person. I figure that maybe, if I share some of these thoughts and feelings online in writing, maybe it’ll make things easier for me mentally. You’ve read about my coming out, some of my religious upbringing, and how I felt through that. Those are feelings that I never thought to share. I never thought I could share them. But sitting behind this screen and listening to my fingers tap against the keyboard, it feels almost natural. Like this screen isn’t here to judge me, and people don’t have to read it if they don’t want to. That’s a real beauty of the internet that some people haven’t harnessed yet.

I love horror. Books, movies, games: You name it, and I probably like it. No. Not Texas Chainsaw. Nope. Not Silence of the Lambs either. But anyway, I was on the phone with my partner a couple weeks back, and I went on a twenty minute (give or take a few) rant about how I was so excited to see Radio Silence film, Abigail. And this is a conversation I have had with them before. I talked about how much I loved this cast, the premise of the movie, every little snippet of the movie I have seen so far, and a bunch of other factors. I always feel so self-conscious though. I have friends who I will ramble to, and then immediately remember after I am done that “Oh… They’re not into that stuff.” (Sorry, Utunu! But to be fair, I haven’t messaged you any horror ramblings in a while!) You know where I can share those ramblings freely? Of course you do! At this point, you’ve probably read some of them. Or you’ve just scrolled past it because horror’s not your thing. And I understand.

And another thing I have to remember to do with this blog is to make sure I don’t do too much. (Because I don’t want to be overwhelmed and have to full-on stop.) Like, part of me wants to take this opportunity to start writing my cute little character interviews again, or write some stories to specifically share on here. But I am not going to immediately do that. Not yet.

I want to take my time. I want to see if I can continue to do things like this. If I can handle the regular intervals of time where I can sit down and just write blog posts about whatever I am thinking about, maybe I can work my way to writing more character interviews, or just having more fun with Heroes Collide. (I never did post the few other stories I had written for that.)

This has been a late night stream of consciousness post from one, Scribbles Cheetah. I should probably get to sleep soon. By the time people see this post, I’ll already be awake! Look at future me being so responsible.
