TikTok is probably the last place I’d expect to find myself. I’ve never really fit into social media – the rhythm has never been mine. Which is exactly why I’m curious.

This site is a quiet corner. I like it that way. But if I only stay here, almost nobody will stumble across what I share. TikTok, for better or worse, has reach.

And yet, I haven’t posted. Each day I wait, the act of posting feels heavier. Not just Where do I start? but Do I want to play by the rules of a platform built on speed and performance?

Maybe the beginning is admitting I don’t know. Even silence becomes its own performance. The question is whether I can use TikTok without letting it use me.
