I made my first deletion here to change one word and repost and it got me thinking about my experience building a micronation. There, it is important to let things sit sometimes, even if I don't like them. At other times, I can change said things to other things that will ultimately be deleted or changed too. Both are good and necessary. This gemlog is about reclaiming a sense of unencumbered, unedited therapeutic monologue. Even if I make some deletions, the mental offloading/uploading process itself is therapeutic. It can feel at times as though I'm trying to reinvent the wheel, especially when I zoom out and see the work of others. Ultimately, this iterative self-design and learning by supposed teaching is more efficient than trying to study the work of others without direction, just to make none of their mistakes. Yet again, guided study would be great here. There is some guided study on micronation building available, at least in the form of books. I don't know if my attention span would sustain that right now. More on that later.
