Unfortunately (because kontinuity is nice) and fortunately (because not all of us were great writers) all of us have discontinued. This made me very nostalgic about that past too.

I wish I hadn't gone to university and developed twenty different forms of self-doubt about the act and essence of writing, but perhaps now that enough water has passed through the naala of what-when-why-whocares, it's time to get back to writing? <br /><br />Now that I think about the past (and I'm not sure whether I'm the kind that thinks of the past or the future) I think there was something to be said for pushing thoughts and observations out into the internet without trying to channel it into professional. Maybe we could nudge blogging-for-the-heck-of-it into having a comeback as a retro art form? :D <br /><br />I seriously have been thinking of getting my writing back on track though. I'll update you about how it goes. Nothing will come close to the haircut comic jodio.

I was recently reading <i>Time Travel: A History</i> by James Gleick:<br />In English and most Western languages, the future lies ahead. ... Aymara speakers, in the Andes, point forward (where they can see) when talking about the past and gesture behind their backs when talking about the future.Sroyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905534994302363111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097195868777567079.post-79121001495832563262018-04-28T03:36:27.942+08:002018-04-28T03:36:27.942+08:00I think more about the past than the future which ...I think more about the past than the future which is embarrassing to admit in light of value judgments associated with the two forms of thought (as embodied in terms like "forward-thinking").

I sometimes set out to write a throwaway post, but then I elaborate and embellish and (hopefully) improve, all because I think that since I'm making the effort to post, I may as well make it count.Sroyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905534994302363111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097195868777567079.post-58361654181870865332018-04-25T02:05:00.233+08:002018-04-25T02:05:00.233+08:00*Sigh* I keep telling myself that I should start b...*Sigh* I keep telling myself that I should start blogging again but I think my problem was that I just kept visualising the perfect blog and could never realise that dream. And thanks to instagram and other apps that allow you to document images/put out text really quickly, it just became easier than taking the time to document everything on a blog. But don't lose hope! Every time I read one of your posts I am a little more inspired to start blogging again. Lalantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178499353275315677noreply@blogger.com
