So I guess I'm here now

 Hi, hello, this is my first post! 

You know, I've always wanted to maintain a blog of some sorts. But for the longest time, I couldn't really think of what exactly to blog about! 

My life? I mean, I don't think there's anything too eventful about my life. Besides, I'd prefer to not expose too much of my actual life online... I already do that on Facebook and the only reason I have an account on that platform was because I thought it'd be okay to keep in contact with family members and school friends (yes, I'm totally going to skip over the fact that I was essentially peer-pressured to making one because my high school group members didn't have any other means of communication...).

I first started actively blogging on Tumblr a few years ago, using my platform to document my stories and blurbs about my original characters (OCs), with a little bit of some unrelated slice of life notes sprinkled in here and there. Just a few months ago, I ditched the original blog I made back in 2015 (and only started actively using in 2018 onwards) and made a whole new blog. Throughout my time on Tumblr, I'd only ammassed around 50-something followers (but I'm a person who doesn't even care much for followers/social media, anyway) and really, only a set few of my posts really gain a decent amount of traction. 

I tried to start an account here on Blogger back in like, 2016, but I never made any posts. Now, I've returned, because long story short, I'd like to make longer posts on a more "private" platform where I don't have to worry about clogging up people's dashboards with stuff they don't really want to see. I also thought it would be easier to tag posts as I've found that Tumblr occasionally messes them up and ends up 404'ing all my tags (and I have to slog through all of them just to find which ones still work and which ones need to be fixed).

I'm also very hesitant to make a post asking people what they want me to create so I'll gain more followers. I don't want to end up making stuff I may not necessarily enjoy, which could effectively leave me with burnout and taking long hiatuses. I want to post stuff I love and feel comfortable sharing with the world, you know?

So we'll see how my time on Blogger fares. I might make some posts on Tumblr linking back here if people are that interested seeing longer, more in-depth posts so I can get a bit of traffic here as well.
