Enjoyed the blogging about blogging about blogging in Bix Frankonis’s post, and happy to add another (thin) layer. This part rang particularly true to me:

It’s just that, for me, the blogging that’s actually interesting is the blogging that very much is not a trade and very much an avocation or hobby.

People instead of brands, basically. Along that line, the linked Winnie Lim post about normalizing being a whole person also resonated with me:

Yes pls, normalise being true to your hobbies and interests and your whole self – also why I refuse to have dozens of different instagram accounts and websites for each of my interests. Everything I do is intertwined in some way and I can’t slice myself cold into separate slices.

We have to write about anything and everything to widen each other’s narrow perspectives, to express the amazing amount of detail that reality has, to normalise being whole persons, that having a wide variety of interests can be a good thing, because everything will ultimately feed into who we are and what we create.

Something good for me to remember.
