Millennial moods and metaphysical hot takes from a girl who kinda just wishes this was MySpace.
A few days ago, I changed my Facebook cover photo. (Not a super-compelling life update, I know…) But it’s significant because my cover photo for the last year and half was an adorable black and white picture of Baby Dawes and me.
I’ve now updated it to be a random image of a flower wall I took 2 seconds to find on Canva.
I just wanted to replace the cover photo with something quickly and easily, because I was suddenly overcome with an urge to remove any image of my daughter that could be accessed publicly on the internet.
Is blogging still a thing anymore? I can always tell that the person is asking for some kind of permission from the internet to start a blog, and looking for a sort of guarantee of success. And I don’t think that’s how blogging, at its essence, is supposed to be.
But also — what the hell do I know? I fully intended for my first blog to be immediately successful and hoped for it to make enough money to support my entire career lololol.
Let me just say, that I am a lover of communication — the sharing of ideas and experiences through photographs, music, writing — I dig it all. So why, then, do I sometimes feel uninspired after spending a portion of my day scrolling through my various social media accounts?
Ok you know what, I freaking love bagpipes. Like, they make me emotional… I’ve recognized more and more over the years that I have a devastating and heartbreaking love for bagpipes and Celtic music, and it moves me in ways no other music does. Case in point, “Caoineadh Cú Chulainn” on this playlist just about wrecks me every time.
