I opened this page to do… something. I think I was gonna fix a plugin issue or upload a thing I made last week. Maybe it was a script. Maybe it was just an idea. But instead, I just stared at the white screen for five minutes and then… started typing this.
There’s this weird fog that rolls in sometimes when you spend too much time online. You bounce between tabs, half-reading articles like this one about digital overload, convincing yourself you’re learning something — but really, you’re just avoiding stillness.
And I guess that’s what this is too. Avoiding something. Doing nothing, while pretending it’s something. Writing into a text box, hoping it turns into meaning.
stevieflow.net was never really “about” anything. Not in the strict sense. No grand mission. No clear direction. Just a place. My place, I guess. It felt better to own a little corner of the internet than scream into social feeds where things vanish in 4 hours.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads these. And if they do — are they like me? Tired. Wandering. Clicking and scrolling through the web like it owes them something. I don’t even know what I want from it anymore.
Some nights, I sit here fiddling with automations on Make, trying to wire one thing to another — like if I can just connect enough dots, the machine will make sense of me. It doesn’t. But I still try.
I miss silence. Not the absence of noise, but the kind where you’re not being watched by analytics or “performance.” I miss making things that didn’t need to be *liked* to be real.
This post won’t rank. Won’t trend. Won’t convert. It barely even knows what it is. But it exists. And that’s more than I can say about most of the stuff I scroll past each day.
If you’re here, reading this, maybe you’re tired too. Not of doing — but of doing things that don’t mean anything to you anymore. If so, hey — same.
This isn’t the end of something, or the start of something new. It’s just this. A little moment. One more half-formed thought in the attic of stevieflow.
