the warm up

@wumbowilliam

instagram was compulsive for me, i'd just think of something and i'd post it whenever it felt right. maybe this wasn't a healthy way to go about discussing my ideas, as many of them take a lot of time to explain. but at the same time, sometimes it feels like if i don't catch the ideas when they happen, that they'll go away. like i'm fishing or i'm trying to light a match, and i have to catch that little burst when it happens, or the flame will not start.

i have a lot to say, and maybe less people will see this compared to my instagram. but here, i have a healthy outlet to express these things for myself. i have to load up wix, go the blog editor, and really think out what i have to say. versus opening up instagram, taking a picture of nothing, and typing the ideas that flow into my head as my fingers move. i think this will force me to have a more direct point each time, and it won't feel as much as though i'm doing this to perform for others on social media. i do truly feel that it's important to share ideas, even if they aren't 100% fact-checked and right. i think the back and forth and the disagreements is what social media and technology is for. our generation should use the tools we have to achieve this.

but i think instagram is so oversaturated and filtered that i needed something more personal. something that's completely mine. i can say what i feel here, but you all have to seek it out. it's not on my public instagram, a social media ran by facebook companies with corporate interests. this can hopefully make my ideas more intentional.

if any of you know me, or have inklings of what my ideas may be about from my music, i will be easing into the concepts i discuss on instagram on a slower pace here. i will show evidence for any claims i make, and feel free to comment down below and fact check me if you disagree. i want this to be a platform one day for the free spread of ideas, not one of these alternative sites where people just say slurs or anything they want for fun.

this isn't fun, i'm not here to let off steam. i'm here to challenge the world and be challenged.
