I'm thinking a lot about my tug to create new social media presences, like, for my doll-collecting or costume-making or cottagecore blogging or otherkin thoughts or whatever catches my fancy, as if the activities themselves are not meaningful or real unless they are constructed as part of a consistent online presence. There's nothing less cottagecore, really, than keeping an instagram, but it's like if I can curate a presence which convinces other people I am peaceful and complete and surrounded by roses, then perhaps I will myself begin to believe it.

I struggle with this seasonally. I have to constantly—constantly—remind myself that I don’t have to post about an activity online for it to be real and to stop imagining how I’m going to post about it while I‘m doing it.
