a no-name at midnight, with cold internet feet, but writing something that resonates with me (& many others loitering round here i'd imagine). i didn't manage to let my midnight.pub bookmark grow cobwebs per se, but i have yet to make my own post. sometimes i begin to write something, then i think "ah, who cares? i'm not contributing to anything and i'm also wasting someone's time if they read this." perhaps your post will inspire me to get warm internet feet and overcomb my anxiety or whatever roadblock i've invented. it's almost midnight here too now, so i should go too. see ya around. *sips remainder of milkshake*
Ah, that part about not contributing anything is very familiar to me as well. That's what made me drop off most social media, and what made me lurk around many communities but interact with precisely 0 of them.
I'm not even sure what made me write this post. I know I wanted to for a while, but what made me get up and type it I don't know. Maybe a need to express parts of myself I couldn't IRL.
I've come to really like this place for that aspect in particular. Just people exchanging thoughts without too much worry - that's the kind of chill I can get behind.
May your internet feet forever be warm, ~cardboard, and see you around.
