Am I back? Probably not.

It’s been ages since I put something on this. Not sure why I’ve suddenly been moved to do something now. Sometimes when I used to do this I had tons of things to write about, usually all about people and things that annoyed me. Sometimes I didn’t have so much to write about and so I found myself looking around for things to write about just so there was a new update once or twice a month. And the whole thing became just a moan and I think it started to contribute to the way I started to feel more and more down.

So I had a choice. Either stop doing it or find more positivity to write about. Hence the last entry, all that time ago, about how the discovery of Japanese female-fronted rock and metal helped me through the worst parts of the first few years of the pandemic (no, I won’t be referring to it in the past tense, it’s still ongoing). But then I had to try to think of something more positive to write about.

Everything that lifts my mood is not likely to be of interest to anyone, so what’s the point? I guess I could pick up the film review site I also used to do. Truth is, there isn’t much I feel hopeful about at the moment. No bright future, no change gonna come. I think we’ve been on the worst timeline since 2016 or so and I think the descent is going to continue for the foreseeable.

I could rant about injustice I guess, a bit like I used to (that’s why I named the blog what I named it, after all), but I’m not really sure it makes me feel any better in the end. I know it used to, and then it didn’t. So I guess, maybe I’ll pick this up again. But then again, maybe I won’t. Bet you missed these riveting reads, didn’t you?
