Unedited thoughts
I had planned to write a post about which text editor I use and why. Another idea was to write about why my next phone might be a Pixel instead of an iPhone. But it feels so incredibly boring to write about.
I don't know what it is, but lately these things feel completely pointless to write about. I'm a tech geek, so it's natural for these ideas to come up, but writing serves a different purpose. At least for me.
Am I saying that writing about technology is "bad"? No, of course not. I read blogs like MacRumors and 9to5Google every day with great interest (I used to run similar blogs myself). But that's not what I want to write about, at least not right now.
Now I like writing mainly for the therapeutic, almost meditative effect it has on me. I write every day, and I find it very rewarding on a personal level.
These thoughts also lead me to a topic I've been writing about several times now: my ambivalence toward writing in English. I'm writing this text in Swedish because it's too hard and time-consuming to do it in English (I've tried many times) and then using DeepL to translate it.
Why bother with all of that? Well, that's what I'm asking myself.
If I'm writing mainly for personal gain, why not just in Swedish? The only thing I can think of is because of the increased attention, which honestly feels like an idiotic argument.
Ok, this was not a text I had planned. Maybe I shouldn't even post it, but that doesn't matter.
These are my thoughts here and now, unedited.
