Why I Want to Start Blogging
Intro
So I deleted Twitter. I’m starting to realize that, though the app is a complete cesspool, it was a form of therapy for me. I always knew that I had a weird obsession with it, but now that I can no longer access Twitter I am beginning to realize why I had formed such an attachment.
Apparently, I love talking. Especially to random people online who probably don’t even care about my thoughts or opinions. I feel like there’s some sort of comfort to screaming into the void. Having a thought or particular feeling burning in my mind and immediately blabbing it out to the internet can be very therapeutic in its own odd and annoying way.
So sadly, the only way I could properly express my feelings and woes was through that cursed bird app. As aforementioned, Twitter is a cesspool for the worst ideas one has ever heard of. Due to this fact, I found it much more beneficial to just log off and “ touch grass “ instead of stick it out for the sake of sharing my emotions online.
This is where Medium comes in:
After removing Twitter from my phone and strongly refusing to visit the site through my laptop, I quickly ran into a dilemma. The very reason I had grown such an affinity towards the app in the first place:
where is my safe space to vent?
This is where Medium comes in. I have had my Medium account for a while now, but I had previously only visited it when I needed to write research blogs for past classes. Today, however, it dawned on me that writing my little splurges of thought on Twitter and writing a blog venting out my ideas were very similar in nature. Then I asked myself: Why not merge the two?
And here we are in my story.
