I’m thinking of bringing back some blog posts. Hence, this post. I have things to say, but not enough ears in my actual life to feed. It’s not like it’s anything profound – it’s honestly the most mundane topics that I want to talk about. I journal too, but this feels like a step up from that. No one is going to read my journal (unless you’re my Mother), but publicly journaling is different.

The only downside to this is no one really chats back. When I used to walk to the gym, I had this phase where I’d call a random person in my contact list and see what they were up to. I love hearing people tell me about their life – it’s weirdly fascinating to me. But I guess people don’t like talking on the phone anymore? I tried calling one of my friends to “chit-chat” and her phone goes straight to voicemail, which is full. When I asked her about it, she said quite matter-of-factly, “I don’t talk on the phone.” 

I just really miss those days of calling a friend on the landline, laying outstretched on my bed, and talking about nothing. Back when silence was expected and not awkward. 

So I hope you don’t mind my calls.
