[Jim Mitchell](https://jimmitchell.org/) wrote a blog post, ["Social Media Hasn't Killed the Personal Blog Just Yet"](https://jimmitchell.org/2024/09/21/social-media-hasnt.html), discussing the decline of personal blogs after social media took off, and the question of if social media killed personal blogs, and if personal blogging can make a comeback. This post caught me by surprise when I discovered it, because recently I have been reflecting on my blogging history, and how social media changed that, with my thoughts ended up being incredibly similar to Jim's.

Blogs have always had a special place in my heart and my history with the web, because blogging was my first foray into creating things on the web way back in the 2000s as a teenager. Teenage me was deeply fascinated by the concept of writing a personal journal on the web, and being able to connect with other people on the internet through reading and commenting on each other's online journal. I have loved writing and like to express myself through writing since I was a child, so blogging seemed to be a great way to do so.
