The overthinking blogger

I’m dragging my feet when it comes to writing this post. Or rather, publishing it.

Not because I find it embarrassing (well, okay, maybe a little). But mostly because I’ve touched on this topic so many times before that it’s starting to feel boringly repetitive.

If you’ve followed my blogging for a while, you already know what it’s about: my ambivalence about blogging.

On one hand, I love blogging. On the other hand, I never quite seem to figure out how I want to do it. My thoughts keep spinning in circles:

Should I really be writing in English? If I switch to Swedish, maybe WordPress would be the better option? Or maybe I should just use Micro.blog for microblogging and go back to my old favorite, Bear, for longer posts? That would also give me a creative outlet with my Bearming theme. Or maybe I should just upgrade my current Micro.one account so I can create a custom theme on this platform?

And on it goes. Not constantly, but in waves. And right now I’m definitely in one of those waves.

I know it sounds quite crazy, and I get that it might not be the most exciting thing to read about. But writing it out always makes me feel a little better.

Maybe it all stems from some vague, subconscious, and unreachable idea of what blogging should accomplish. Maybe it’s the ghost of my early days as a professional blogger still haunting me.

I truly want to blog just for the joy of it, and I think that’s what I’m doing. But all this unnecessary overthinking keeps making me question it. Again and again and again.

Maybe I just need to accept that my blogging will always be a bit of a never-ending dance between platforms and languages.

I don’t know.
