SRSLY, Y?! 😑

So blogs are in that awkward phase where they aren't fresh anymore, but they aren't retro either. Poor rejected content form! But I'm not here to be TRENDY so I'm writing anyway.

TLDR: Most blogs SUCK. They are boring & full of ads. Basically spam. I'm not doing that.

I mean, let's talk about the state of blogs. Most of them now fall under the category of "advertainment" with half of them copy-pasted from the one listed next to it in your search results, and so covered and smothered in SEO keywords you are basically reading the same sentence on repeat through the entire article. If you can even get through the article with the amount of ads loading! UGHK. So yah, I don't read them either.

But I am not here to entertain anyone. I don't give a fuck about SEO, or how many readers I get. I do not use keywords, I do not get paid to plug products, and I don't use affiliate links. No google ads here, and I am not selling anything. I don't care if you follow me on insta.

Well, why write then? Writing reinforces your beliefs and clarifies your thinking. It's great for your brain, and for mindset work. I journal *all* the time. But I also believe that each of us have a unique voice, and in sharing our stories, experiences and insights, we might inspire someone else to speak their own truth when it isn't easy. And that's important to me. So here we are. I like to write about things that interest me: education, neuroscience, anthropology, mental health, body health, mindset training...that kinda stuff. In pop culture (as opposed to academics) that stuff usually gets dumped into a pile of cliche-driven "self help" books. But really, it comes down to: can we srsly live up to our potential as human beings already?!? Fuck sake. So that's what I write about, and I think it's important to get more of it out there, because honestly, I am TIRED of the spotlight for these topics being HOGGED by old rich white dudes spewing out advice meant for conservative, straight, monogamous, married-with-kids suburban ladies and other rich old white dudes. (Not judging those people, but they aren't the only ones that exist, hellooooo.) So I'm here, sharing my experiences and insights, and digging into these topics FOR THE REST OF US. One other thing tho, unlike certain self-help "gurus" I am not trying to make a cult of Sky Zombies brainwashed to do what I tell them- do NOT follow any of my suggestions without consulting your own dr, doing your own research, or figuring out what is best for you *yourself*. Critical thinking, kids! It's a thing. Also I'm obsessed with gifs and I curse a lot. So that's going to happen. Enjoy!
