Long Time No Update

Guess who remembered they had a wordpress blog and finally felt like writing again! At least I think I feel like writing again. Last night, after 26 hours and 49 minutes of gameplay over 2 weeks I completed The Last Of Us Part 2. Don’t panic no spoilers here, not even a review, at least not yet. I just need to mention it so I can make my point.

The point is for 2 weeks I didn’t bother with any social media. I saw one spoiler when the leaks first happened, despite unfollowing and blocking everything I could think of, some inconsiderate arse made a post with a spoiler written on an image meaning the word blocks I had in place were useless. It also came from a person I didn’t follow but thanks to social media thinking it knows me was on my feed as “things you may like”. So I took the only control I could and just got rid of it all.

During my absence I realised that I am terrible at socialising, even online and I love the way social media allows me to stay in touch with friends and their lives without having to go through the agonising anxiety of starting a message. I can count on one hand the number of people I am comfortable messaging first and I don’t even need all my fingers for it. So I missed interacting but also I missed updating and sharing myself online. I very much think of posting online as talking to myself and keeping a diary. Which is why, I think, writing on this blog again came back to me when it did.

I recently started watching Avatar The Last Airbender which I have a lot to say on. A lot. Then when I finally finish Persona 5 Royal I know I’ll want to talk about that. I have this year got into gardening and become a big fan of Monty Don. Sewing has become a thing for me as well and I have a big quilt plan I want to document and then there’s this whole Lockdown and Coronavirus situation. Therefore I’m feeling confident about having things to write about and wanting to write about them. That said I also know I’m inconsistent and easily distracted so if you don’t hear from me again for another year or five, don’t worry.

One thought on “Long Time No Update

  1. Congrats on finishing the game! Sorry you got spoiled despite everything 😦 it looks like the entire internet just combusted on itself with leaks. Hope you enjoyed it tho! And oof I feel you so much on anxiety with online friends. I still struggle responding to people and just engaging in general. I’m trying to get better but I fall back into my old habits of getting overwhelmed by it and then taking breaks to cope rofl. Take care out there and stay safe!
