~hello, town!~ 2025-12-30
i've just finished setting up my feels blog here in tilde.town, so it's time for my first post! already i've been feeling very welcome here, with some lovely little guestbook messages between myself and a couple of others (hello, ~fruit and ~tromboneboi9!).
i'm pretty terrible at routinely blogging, but the feels system is nice and compact and easy to use, so i hope i can just hop on and record my impressions for the day. ideally, i'd like to avoid my usual cycle, which goes something like:
- i must blog/journal/diarize each and every day with a rigid structure
- i'm doing it! i'm making it happen! (3 days in)
- oh no i missed a day or didn't fill in one of my many little structural fields. i have Failed to make a diary.
- update it once every eight months or let it wither entirely
i'm gonna break the cycle by just sporadically doing things when i feel like i have something i was thinking about. it doesn't have to be profound either! to this end, in the new year i'm going to carry a little pocketbook and pen to record my thoughts and impressions if anything strikes me. it'll be fun! i find the immediacy of pen and paper still far less frictionful than whipping out my phone and i don't like the idea of yapping out loud to record voice notes or things like that either. so, with the tiny pocketbook, i should be able to at least have plenty fuel for little posts.
thought of the day: apples are the fruit that benefit the most in my life from refridgeration, i think. leave an apple out in a fruitbowl for a week and it gets wrinkly and dry, but a whole month in a fridge and it's still juicy and crisp like the day it was picked. that's apples for you.
