Having once posted on this gopherhole several months ago, whereupon I revealed some illicit drug use, I promptly decided to delete my post and never speak of it again. A roaring success, as I'm sure you'd agree. Why did I delete my post? The usual paranoia about posting personal information about myself on the internet, even pseudonymously, with a sprinkle of cowardice just for flavour. Having gone without social media for over a decade, the thought of revealing actual events that had happened in my life filled me with a sense of a liberation and trepidation. The kind of wonderful duality that can be typically be resolved by bathing in turpentine. Or failing that, removing a post allowing thoughts once so publicly expressed to dissipate into the ether. How I almost envy those so-called "normies" who can can manage to post things about themselves without delving into quasi-existenstial brainrot. One metaphorical spirit-based dissolution of skin later, I'll conclude this thought by saying I hope I that I develop the confidence/discipline to write more regularly and post here. Maybe beginning of the end of self-imposed digital solitude and embracing the wonders of this medium, of the beautiful Gopherspace. In glorious plain text of course. :)
