You ever write a long post and after you’ve finished you delete it because you suddenly realize that you just don’t give a fuck as much as you thought you did?

    I occasionally write long rants for this very reason. It’s out of the system, there’s now no need to poison others with my bile. *delete*

    Had to clear out my drafts recently and it read like the incoherent ramblings of a failed early Neuralink monkey

    I’d do it more often, if before publishing there was one more question: are you *really* sure you want to share these words?

    Frequently. I’ll type it out, determine it’s either not worth the energy to post and deal with, or I’d gotten what I’d needed out of it just by typing and so it’s unnecessary to post.

    It’s called ‘venting’. :) Been there done that many times. Now it’s just a practice before posting to see if I really want to post it.
