Morning
I used to think that I knew what I wanted. Now, I’m realizing that I don’t.
I’m a creative person, and creative endeavors really get me going.
I’m incredibly proud of everything that I’ve made on Youtube, every song that I’ve made, every website, everything. No matter how bad they actually are.
But the truth is, circumstances have made me doubt myself.
Some of my videos got a lot of attention, including one that I didn’t put all that much effort in.
I’ve been kind of overwhelmed with everything happening politically, especially in the context of everyone not being on the same page as me, and me not knowing how to deal with that.
Granted, that’s my fault. I’ve always wanted to correctly learn how to help people understand political and societal concepts easily.
This time, it’s a bit different though. We are up against actual swastika-brandishing neo-nazis and other kinds of racists and fascists. So, when people close to me give me horrendous political takes, it isn’t as fun anymore. It isn’t as fun to think about how I can talk to them about important subjects, especially when their takes show that they’ve been brainwashed to a degree where they can’t actually engage with a normal conversation.
But too bad. It’s not fun ? So be it. Let’s makeit fun then. I need to stop taking myself so seriously, and start taking thismore seriously.
I’ll never change anything if I don’t make anything.
I’ll never help anyone if I don’t reach anyone.
I’ve basically always had this idea in my head that mostly everything you’d want is already on the internet.
Mostly. There are TONS of things waiting to be created, that needto be created.
But, the main problem that with the internet now is that we just can’t find already existing things.
So, I stopped relying so much on the algorithm-fed internet. I’m slowly learning to create a library of curated media, and using the algorithm in a controlled, temporary way.
The next step? Making creations that share things that I love, and teach people how to do the same.
And while I have their attentions, also teach them how to think for themselves better. Help them understand misused words, things like that (I can’t believe that so many people on youtube claim to make “unbiased video game reviews” for example, that’s absolutely insane to me.).
This, this whole thing, this website – this creative outlet – is good to me.
Making videos is good to me.
But it being good to me, it being fun… That doesn’t make it easy to do. Quite the opposite. For over a year, it’s been impossible to create anything.
I still need to verbalize the method I’ll use to put things out. But the most simple, basic one that I see is publishing things on this page.
1, because it will help me become a better writer. Improve the flow of my sentences. Stop using unnecessary words.
2, because it will put me in the modethat I need to work and am good at.
Our generation will be the first generation of grandparents that will have a large internet footprint : we posted a lot of things to the internet, and social media profiles, but a lot of it will potentially also become lost media as websites closed, or passwords become lost.
I want my grandchildren to see the impact that I had. At best, I want them to actually feel it. I want them to realize the impact I did have on the world they live in.
And, first, I can only do that by making dumb little posts on a dumb little website.
