i have a lot of thoughts and hopefully always will
i remember i was in high school when eric kwan sold me a bootleg copy of nastradamus. i suddenly started carrying a 'book of rhymes' (corny) and started writing every lyrics and thought that came to my little earnest brain. that led me to allhiphop's long forgotten message boards where i would 'rap battle' people (corny but shout out to having a creative forum i guess) which is really simply trading slam poetry back and forth on a time delay.
but god the anticipation. coming back after school just to log in to see someone roast your syntax and furiously trying to think of insults based on your limited knowledge of this person's internet personality? you've never known another dopamine rush.
where am i going with this?
nowhere really.
maybe to share that i always have so much to learn, too much to say1, too much inside and writing has always been my best medium. before journaling promised to make you a better person. i wrote.
i think there's a lot of beauty in taking time to write and for someone, a dear reader, to consume my words. before ai and in this time of ai, for us to both raw dog some text?
it means something.
one time i went on a date with a guy (shout out joe who went on to be decently famous and has his own wiki) who told me i didn't need to blog about everything. this was before instagram so i was oversharing on tumblr with literal word vomit which is a different level of cringe that i will gladly own.↩
