Deprecating This Log My Action Going Forward
2 minute read
NOTE: this was written as a pause of my “emotional log”… I eventually returned back to writing in as I was logging in a more action-focused log
On that note, I’m going to “deprecate” this log and create a new log. This log was mainly a place for me to dump all my thoughts and feelings in addition to normal journaling and talks with friends. It served as yet another place for me to write out things, and I appreciate everyone jumping in with advice, feedback, or encouragement. I was in a tough time in my life (Jan 2023 to June 2023). I don’t want or need sympathy; that’s just where I was. Here almost half a year later, I am in a much better spot. I don’t have all my problems or questions solved, but I no longer need a continual, emotional outlet for my feelings. I still have my various private, offline journals as well as friends, which now are more than enough for me.
I want this log to be a history of my past and emotions, but I need something new to take me forward. Inspired by the action ethos, I am holding myself to a higher standard of taking action. I’ve yet to determine how my new log will look exactly, but it will be action-focused first and foremost. No more whining, complaining, crying, etc. that I have done here. Again, I have no shame in all that, but that’s not the man I want to live every day going forward (but it was most certainly who I needed to be to work through all that).
I may return occasionally to this log if I feel the need to put something emotional or related here, but my vision is let this log sink into the backlogs. Leave my past [mostly] behind me sort of thing. Also inspired by many other dudes (though not all) here, I want to focus on physical action – not theorizing and chatting all the time.
I have a lot of action coming in the near future. I’ll write a brief summary of that soon in my new log.
Many thanks again to anyone for reading, commenting, and being a part of my journey in an abstract way. I always appreciate all the help that I receive.
