“If I started a blog would you read it?” I sent the text to multiple people.

“Yep!”
“Yes.”
“What would the blog be about?”
“yes I would”

I know wordpress is popular. people don’t use tumblr anymore i’m pretty sure. I used to have an xanga fifteen years ago but I don’t even think that website exists now.
I logged into wordpress, created the cheapest account I could without having the dot wordpress in my url (because…embarrassing), and selected the absolute worst template I could find without requiring a fucking upgrade.

The truth is, I don’t know. I don’t know what I will put in here.
I got sober 5 1/2 years ago after nearly a decade of trying to run away from everything. even though early sobriety was probably the time i needed to have an outlet the most, somewhere along the line i…just quit writing. An instagram caption here or there, a note in my phone at most.
maybe the stress of finally feeling everything with no luxury of a steel-canned analgesic has become too much for me to bear.
Maybe I needed a hobby or attention, I don’t know.

but here we are and here we go.
