This title should be a category. I’ll use it to talk out all of the things I want so I can ultimately talk myself out of it. My current dilemma involves whether to keep this site or not. What could I possibly talk about that would interest anyone? But the secret? The secret is that it’s all for me. I had a blog that I kept up for two years while living in Japan over two decades (!!) ago. It is still online and it brings me JOY and NOSTALGIA and everything else I need to think deep thoughts about life and its progression.
The annoying thing is that I had a LOT to talk about when overseas because everything was different and new and amazing. But to dissect the site properly is to see how it transformed from “look at this crazy shit (wow)!” to “this shit is crazy (WTF)”. It was a classic “the kids are not ok” devolvement of poor workplace culture and a stigma towards mental health services (not that I knew at the time that I needed them…for some unfathomable reason).
However, there are amazing things everywhere, if only one knows how to look for them. Should I bother shouting into the ether? Twenty years from now I may be very happy to have done this. Ugh. What a hassle. Just like going to the gym and saving for retirement. But I am a sucker for older people, especially if it’s me!
A picture for the post, because every post deserves a little flair.
