someone had to say it, plain and simple

hey people on darflen again after my 5 day (?) break i forgot, here’s post number 384, not like it matters

lately, I’ve been struggling with the whole “why bother” question when it comes to posting. every time I drop something, it just kinda sits there, untouched, unnoticed, like it never existed. zero engagement, no feedback, just me staring at the screen wondering if I’m wasting my time.

which, honestly, makes sense. I don’t follow anyone, don’t engage, just post into the void and hope something sticks. but it still sucks. putting effort into something only for it to feel like shouting into an empty room.

it’s not even about going viral or getting tons of attention. just some kind of recognition that what I’m doing exists. but nah, every time it’s the same story. and with every post that flops, motivation gets lower and lower, until I start questioning why I even bother at all.

not saying I’m quitting, but yeah, it’s hard to keep pushing forward when nothing ever changes. anyway, that’s where I’m at right now. maybe I’ll figure it out, maybe I won’t. who knows.

part 2 because i wanted to expand

but here’s the real issue to me. while i sit here agonizing over effort vs. results, i see people posting whatever. blurry photos, half-baked thoughts, vague ramblings that barely make sense, and somehow they still get something. a couple likes. a random comment. just some indication that people saw it, even if they barely processed it.

so what am i doing wrong? is it too much effort that’s the problem? should i start dropping nonsense and hope for the best? maybe engagement isn’t about polish or thoughtfulness. maybe it’s just being there, constantly, like a background noise that people eventually start noticing.

meanwhile, qxva is out here churning out nonsense daily like it’s a form of high art, acting like he’s the backbone of this platform because he happens to post more than anyone else. spamming the feed like it’s his personal diary and then patting himself on the back for being "the most active." as if sheer volume equals value.

which would make sense. posting low-effort stuff is easier, faster, less emotionally taxing. it’s not tied to expectations, just existence. no overthinking, no hesitation, just throwing things out and moving on.

but is that what i want? do i want to contribute to the endless scroll of meaningless content? maybe. maybe not. depends on the day.

for now, i’ll keep doing what i do, even if it feels like screaming into the void. but if you’re someone who posts the equivalent of a blurry picture of your cat and still gets engagement, what’s the secret?
