As I dust off the old Wordpress and replace it with it’s younger, more mature, brother, I can’t help but think about all the things I’ve been missing out by shutting myself away from a community I used to love.
Sometimes the amount of tasks we take during our days make some hobbies seem less worthwhile. But what is the point on living in a globally connected network if I am not to share my words and thoughts.
Not blogging has made me lazy.
Some people have or lack the motivation to find and discuss their topics of interest without anyone calling out to them. I had the privilege of belonging to one of the very best networks in the web, had great friends who’d read and discuss my articles.
Since I quit writing on ForeverGeek and this blog I’ve been less keen on keeping up to date with the latest news, and instead of feeling like someone else would fill that void for me, I found out that no one does. None of my friends would bring up the subject of a brand new product or platform they found, unless our conversation happened to lead to it.
Perhaps that makes life more interesting, more random, but it also kept me and my friends from finding out about great things sooner, rather than later. Now that I think about it, with the exception of the posts I wrote for ForeverGeek, I didn’t use to share many news on this site unless it was a subject I was very excited about.
With that “restriction” torn away, I’m now free to write about whatever I want, technology included. Don’t call this a comeback, it’s simply a return to my roots, and the continuation of something I enjoy doing.
