Regaining My Senses

 Hola everyone! How are things?

  My apologies for not really being around last month. I just... I just wasn't. I have no real explanation why, other than the usual one I was spouting at the end of 2021 (aka "I have an allergy to online life"/social paralysis). 

  But now it is 2022. And I'm not sure what I want to do with my online life. Some spaces are a little touchy for me and I'm still learning to navigate them. One being Discord and the other being Twitch, for reasons I really don't think I can fully explain without feeling a bit over-exposed. So we'll just leave it there.

  With that in mind, I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things for 2022. I have been spending most of the night working on my new journal which I hope to share at the end of the year. Yes, this year, my journal will be for the whole year. I can explain why that is significant to those who are interested at a later date. But because I am doing that, I am debating and contemplating on what to do with my online life. There are a few things I know for certain right now:

  1. I know I want to do at least one livestream a week on Twitch. I don't know if I can do the full weekend right now, but at least one day to check in and hang out with people. More than likely, it will be writing, for reasons I'll explain in a bit.
  2. I want to do at least one or two videos a month on YouTube. Basically either vlog style or updates on life stuff without too much else. I don't want YouTube to be a big focus on my life just yet.
  3. I will be doing a heck of a lot more writing in my online life. Not only do I have plans to continue blog posts (which this one counts as one, so huzzah) once a week, but I have whole months dedicated to writing. I am debating on if I want to do NaNo-style streams like I did in October of last year on Twitch, or to stick those on YouTube as writing updates. I'm not sure yet.
  4. As far as Twitter and Instagram goes, I need to figure out what I want to do with those. I already have the bare bones idea of what to do already, but I really need to commit to doing things regularly. Another thing to think about.
  5. As far as Snapchat goes, I will be using that for mainly sudden random thoughts. That might be the best bet for me with that, due to its more instant nature. 
  6. TikTok... oh, that cute sight. I am hoping to do something with that, but once I reach a different goal of mine. I won't share much more of that.
  I am hoping to branch onto other sites at some point when I feel like it. The one I'm interested in is Spoon, which is a smaller livestreaming service that is audio only. That intrigues me and I wish to study it as a way to read some of my work or share my music.

  But this should be it for now. I am still tweaking my intentions and desires for the year, so none of this is set in stone. I just wanted to let you know how I was feeling. Hopefully 2022 gives you a lot of love, joy, and strength! 

Love and Strength,
