Clothed_in_violet My time on blather, in the past, had impacted my experience of creative writing towards a very strange outcome. I could no longer write poetry or truly enjoy writing without being on blather. Life changed course and I saw blather as a toxic environment for me to spend time. I wanted freedom from being tied to a platform where people would see what I write. Then I came up with a plan. I will just make my own private blather. Change the background color to dark blue with a light blue font. It didn’t have to be exact. Just close. This worked perfectly. Until I wasn’t writing anything. The time and space between the world of blather and my current life didn’t allow anything extravagant to be written. But it lingered in my mind and I returned not long ago. Blather wasn’t obsolete, but something that needed to exist to keep technology from removing what is truly human about us. This time I’m wearing a purple dress and my eyes aren’t as sharp. The light blue fades into the darker blue. I changed the font to white. The contrast energizes me while still feeling familiar. 260417
