There haven't been many posts here for the last few months, and I doubt this'll change sooner or later. The reason for this is relatively simple: I kept this journal to be able to express things into the wild without having second thoughts about people's perception - after all, I wasn't advertising it, so I flew under the radar, but it was still not fully private, which allowed me to build a bit of confidence organically. It was good.
Unfortunately at some point I got comments from people who I didn't know were reading it, and these comments were somewhat disheartening. Not that I ever discouraged people to have opinions - everyone thinks whatever they want - but what people think is ultimately both my responsibility and my evaluation, and because of that I no longer feel confident or comfortable doing this.
Maybe one day. Until then, indefinite hiatus of posts.
