I am never inclined to blog, or to post things online. This is the case for all platforms of social media for me. I had never really seen the point of it, and a lot of it feels like I am creating and picturing things for other people, and not for myself.

It’s weird, because I used to think this was a good thing, or a ‘humble’ thing to do. To not project myself out there and say ‘hey everyone, look at this, look at me.’ To me, it all comes off as being very staged, and is not an accurate reflection of anyone. I feel like everyone thinks that, even the posters, but just go along with it anyway.

But now, as I move closer to graduating, I’m beginning to realise the importance of having a strong digital footprint, and a strong online presence. It feels like I’ve shot myself in the (digital) foot.

Maybe for me, blogging can be a good way to begin making a habit of uploading stuff online. This isn’t to say i’m going to craft the perfect blog, or have all my most profound ideas and photos uploaded here, it’s just to say that I am going to start uploading things. This blog is my training wheels for making and sharing content online.
