The Weekly Wrap Up is posted! I talk about Thanksgiving plans, finishing the epic fantasy series Iāve been reading, what Iāve started watching and vaccines and physical therapists kicking my butt. Also a few cool links, as always! I especially like the High Fashion Typography ones - so clever!

From someone with a sibling āeverything is fucked and we donāt know whyā disease (ME/CFS), congrats on the new doctor! (And sympathies on the previous ones ā I donāt fully trust most doctors, either.)

Haha CFS is such a āfunnyā diagnosis because I have chronic fatigue, but not the syndromeā¦every day I am reminded that many diagnoses are just best guesses haha

This was the first of your blog that Iāve seen, and I loved this post. My initial thought was to send a heart emoji and then move along, but the ending lingered with me. You are seen. By me in this moment, and others in the days ahead. Thank you for staking out a place on the digital frontier and for sharing your journey with us.

Didnāt plan on writing today. Then I read another post that inspired me to do just that, and this post is the result: Inspiration ā Lars-Christian.com

I wrote about how I felt about blogging and reflecting as to why I was having a hard time making them. I kinda had second thoughts about posting this since it barely makes any sense and goes on weird tangents, but I wanted to write more at least. Maybe this will help me loosen up and be more honest when it comes to my posts.

Glad you wrote it!
Thereās this underlying expectation I had of myself to be professional, thoughtful and collected that no one asked for, but I still canāt let go of.
I can certainly relate. Unfortunately I donāt have any suggestions. My approach is to just try to keep writing and publish as much as I can, and then hopefully itāll all settle into something Iām comfortable with eventually.
And:
Blogging is one of the earnest, long-form looks into a personās life and thoughts, but it takes a lot out of me to be genuine in a way that feels safe or interesting. I have to come up with new ways to write something that makes sense and is eloquently made, that blogging often starts to feel like a chore. I want to start being loose, writing more, but I need time to unpack everything in my life before getting to that point.
Honestly, I think that struggle is the whole point. All the good stuff, all the magic, it all comes from the struggle.

I guess itās kinda another form of writing thatās a bit more personal and casual than something like a poem, short story or a novel. I never really thought of it that way, thatās a really good point.
Iām glad that you got some form of enjoyment out of it and I was able to speak on an experience you also had. I honestly thought everyone knew how to write blogs, especially when it comes to something a bit more technical or academic, and I somehow just didnāt get it.

Weāre all just winging this; well, the honest folks doing this for fun/edu-tainment are. The for-profit folks probably have other things in mind, but I wonāt sully this space 
Setting expectations for yourself is fine, if thatās what you want to do. But itās a choose-your-own-adventure kind of thing out here in the forest.
