Who Am I?

So, this is random. I never thought I’d start an online diary, yet here I am. Will I keep up with it? No idea. But I have a lot of thoughts swirling in my head, and it feels nice to have a place to dump some of them—whether or not anyone ever reads this.

Introductions have never been my strong suit. Online or in person, they feel awkward and kind of nerve-wracking. But since this is anonymous, I guess I can just go for it.

I’m a single, gay Asian-American in my mid-to-late 30s, living in the Midwest. Life here is… fine, I guess. Sometimes quiet, sometimes lonely, sometimes exactly what I need. I don’t know what I expect from this diary, but maybe it’ll be a space where I can just be. No filters, no expectations—just my thoughts, unpolished and real.

So, here goes nothing.

@webby Freezing? Oh, just a little—only questioning all my life choices every time I step outside. We got a bit of snow yesterday, and now it’s a balmy 5°F today, so basically summer, right? I hope you’re staying warm and not turning into a human popsicle!

Raw Thoughts

Hi. Welcome. I’m new here, too. I live in the South. Female. All sorts of interesting things in my heritage. This place has had its ups and downs, but it is what it is, and what it is is my home.

I sometimes wonder if anything in this world is ever truly anonymous.

I’ve been jotting online for decades and have always found it refreshing. Hope you enjoy it as well.

Hey there! Thanks for the warm welcome! I guess that makes us both the new kids on the block—minus the ’90s boy band fame and questionable fashion choices.

The South, huh? Sounds like a place full of charm, history, and probably some legendary home-cooked meals. As for anonymity, I sometimes wonder the same thing… but considering my online ads now perfectly predict what snacks I’m craving at 2 AM, I think the internet knows me better than I know myself.

I love that you’ve been jotting online for decades—kind of like a digital time capsule of thoughts! Looking forward to seeing where this little writing adventure takes us.
