Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

My Saturday PSA:
Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore.
Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office.
Stop talking about Joe Biden.
Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

在注册 Substack 之前，我写了十年的独立博客，在 2013 年注册了自己的第一枚域名，那时候坚信我对独立博客的选择是正确的。
往后的十年，购买服务器，建立博客，换主题，写文章，搜集友链，乐此不疲。但在文章评论区回应的，来来去去都是那么几个，时间久了，也都是圈子里的人在互访。
现在已经对简中互联网颇为失望，无论是移动端还是网页端。 Substack 是少数让我眼前一亮的社区，这里排版舒服简洁，有短文即时分享想法，也有深思熟虑系统严谨的长文，更是对长期发展有利的付费订阅模式。
再看简中，全都转向了手机 APP。流量较高且是文字载体的公众号的网页端体验也不好。
