going lowercase only
ever since i’ve started this blog, i’ve tried to make it at least somewhat coherent. that would mean proper capitalization and punctuation. but what you may not know, is that typing “properly” feels incredibly unnatural to me. thus, writing anything at all always felt forced. it wasn’t really me. i mean it was, but it also wasn’t.
maybe someone my age is “supposed" to write properly. but i can’t. writing properly feels cringe, it feels like my posts are way more serious then they are, and that is not the vibe i want on my website. i want it to be easy to read, but also to feel like i’m talking directly with my readers. that’s kinda what i’ve been doing before too, but i feel like that proper capitalization... feels... impersonal. and that’s something i’d like to avoid..
what i’m trying to say is… this feels better. like, way better. at least to me. my thoughts flow way easier, and it feels like it’s easier for me to just be yapping about whatever.
i’m not worried about sounding smart or polished, i never was to begin with. so i’m unsure why i ever tried to sound polished. and to be honest i just wanna sound like me. like how i actually think, how i actually talk. and it’s something i should’ve done from the start. typing as myself means lots of rambling. no proper caps, and just sometimes that also means letting a thought trail off and not forcing it to wrap up all neat and tidy.
and sure lowercase might look unserious or unprofessional as fuck, but that’s a part of it’s charm. that’s exactly how one of my posts should feel like! because at the end of the day this is MY website...
so yeah. lowercase it is. for now and for ever and ever.
