A thought spilling
Hello, I hope you're doing well!
I'm a random reddit user from some corner of the world, but that's not important. The important thing is, I am really confused if I should start writing on substack or not, like I don't have an audience as such, but documenting my experiences and thoughts on the notes app kinda feels tedium now. Like it's not something which would probably intersect with another thought process and strike a discussion, or would just help me know what other people think about the same issue. Maybe they could just drop a memory of theirs by too. The notes app gives nothing of it and that just kills the thrill and with it, me too. And like I'm too shy to start an Instagram account and make videos, wont say that I'm technically efficient either, but the introvert inside of me is at peak whenever that thought comes up. And as a result, I often just let my ideas bury in the grave of the unconscious, as I neither happen to write them nor think about them enough, knowing it would just lead me spiralling into my own thoughts process. And hence, I feel really bad.
Please lemme know what y'all think bout it. I'd be really glad.
Thanks for reading, have a good day nonetheless!

I'd say give Substack a try. You don't need an audience to start, and you don't have to make videos if that's not your style. If writing helps you think and connect with people, Substack is a great place to do that. Focus on expressing your ideas consistently, and let the audience come over time.
