I Seriously Miss Old-School Blogging!

I have been trying really hard to find some blogs that would interest me but all I am finding is fake blogs or blogs completely written with AI. It’s getting really frustrating. I would love to find some blogs about lifestyle, self-care, mental health, cozy gaming, cozy hobbies and pretty much anything considered cozy. In the Cozy K or Her Cozy Gaming vibe. They each have blogs as well, Cozy K and Her Cozy Gaming. I am really enjoying both of their YouTube channels and blogs but I would like to find more like them and in the other categories I mentioned as well. Blogs that actually talk about peoples lives and show what they are up to.

I think that’s on of the reasons I am not really blogging here is because it just doesn’t feel all that natural anymore like it did in the early 2000’s and even the 2010’s. I want so bad to find some blogs to read but don’t even know where to look anymore. I mean Pinterest seems to be so scammy and nothing is what it says it is after you click on the link it takes you somewhere else completely talking about something else completely. l noticed they have been cracking down on that some but they seem to have a long way to go.

I think one of the reasons I want to blog more and read and comment on other blogs is to find people with similar interests. But it’s just so hard. I would love to have a YouTube channel with similar content but I just don’t know where to start, how to film, what to film, etc. Plus I can’t shake the feeling I am like 10-20 years older then most of them and don’t look like them. I’m looking my age now and that frustrates me as well because I know absolutely nothing about skin care and makeup and feel that no one would be all the interested in watching me. I know that’s a dumb assumption but for some reason when you are surrounded by people who are the opposite to who you are, some commonalities no longer seem to matter.

I miss old-school blogging where you just blogged about your day, your feelings, or whatever you felt like writing about. I would start a book review blog but even that seems to be out of my reach. I just no longer have the concentration to sit down and read a book. I used to be able to do it in one sitting and now it takes me weeks or months just to get to the end of a book and about 85% of the time I never even finish it.

I keep seeing all these beautiful aesthetic people, with their beautiful aesthetic houses or apartments and hobbies and I keep wishing I could get there. I keep buying things that I love and see in these videos but for some reason I can’t make a room look cozy or have a pretty aesthetic vibe to save my life. My recent purchases range from cute little RGB led lamps to a cute pink mechanical keyboard but somehow they just don’t really make my office look any nicer, though they do make me feel a little cozier. I have to say I am really enjoying the sound of the mechanical keyboard right about now.

I think one of my issues is that I just keep desperately seeking new things that make me feel comfy and cozy because I really want to maximize my non-work time and make it feel like I am doing things I love. It’s frustrating though because even though I really seem to enjoy them, I am not really good at any one things and just can’t pick which things I really want to concentrate on. There is just a lot of overwhelm. A lot of wanting things, but not really knowing what I am doing or how to achieve them.

I sometimes just feel a bit lost in a world that seems to be getting more and more complicated each day and I sometimes just want to go back to the way things were in the 80’s and 90’s when there was not so much information and input at your fingertips. I feel like I am always going down some rabbit hole, only to pop up far from where I started and find another hole nearby to go back down. No wonder I feel burned out all the time. I am sure I am not the only one.
