I am beginning to wonder what I am going to write and post about every single day. I unofficially decided on my birthday that I would post every day of year 42. I say “unofficially” because I often start this idea strong. I do great in August.

Then life happens and suddenly I stop posting and before I know it I am staring down the start of a new year.

I miss the old days of blogging. The days when I had dozens of blogs I would visit. I would read the posts and comment here and there. I learned about people’s lives. I still follow a few of those. Well, one I think. Most of the others don’t exist anymore or they are all about ads and sponsored posts.

I don’t really need a blog to sell me anything. I kind of just want to read about your life.

I guess that social media replaced that. First Facebook. Ugh I dislike Facebook. But they make it where you just can’t quit it. Too many groups I am part of use it as the sole means of communication. I tried Twitter. I never really got into it. A few years back Nathan told me that the high school kids don’t FB anymore, they were all on Twitter. But I think that has been replaced by SnapChat and other things. I don’t even know what the current top social media platform is. I don’t really care. I have never even downloaded the snapchat app.

Maybe now it is all about Instagram and YouTube. Instagram is more about stories and “insta TV” now. And my kids spend more time on YouTube than anywhere else it seems.

I suppose now people just talk to their screens to share their stories instead of writing them out in a blog.

I am trying to remember what I used to write about before kids. Probably teaching and fertility struggles. I never had huge numbers of followers. I was okay with that. I wasn’t really writing for other people.

I’m not writing for other people now. I haven’t had any views. That’s okay. I am not trying to sell you anything or earn money from your clicks. I suppose I am obsolete, trying to hold on to something people aren’t interested in anymore. That’s okay too, it takes the pressure off of these silly, mundane posts!
