Hi. ππ»
This is my first post on Hive (so be gentle...or don't π ). I used to have a couple of accounts on here and Steem back in the day but I lost my pvt π. It's okay thoughβπ© happens. I never posted on those accounts, but I did follow some people.
Anyways...I am not the best at introductions, but I will try. I go by 3gxd on most platforms (x3g on Hive). I like to write, read, listen to music (shoegaze, pop, electronic, hip hop, ambient, scores, etc.), watch shows and movies, and am into personal development, creativity, comedy, nature, tech, coffee, sports (American football, basketball, baseball, skiing), learning (anything that can help me I'm game for), money, AI, spirituality. I am a twin, a Gemini (I just had my bday on the 9th. I reside in the States on the East Coast.
I like having fun. I like to laugh. π
I would share my favorite artist but I might have to kill you. Lol jk. Sorry...I have dark humor sometimes. I just like to get to know people better before I share certain personal things like that. Music and art are v personal. So.
I am a pretty casual, laid-back guy.
I don't want to die. Lol. WTF is wrong with me?
My Why
I think a good place to start is why I want to do this. I like to write but it is mainly in my pvt journals. So this will be good practice for me to hone the skill of being public with my writingβwith publishing.
My aim and intent is to just write and create for the pure joy of it. To help someone. To express myself. To share.
I am shying away from the trap of writing and creating for money. Yes, I realize I am on a platform where I could earn something for it. I am not against making money in this way. Not at all. But my real focus is to just create from the heart and see what happens.

What Iβve Been Up to Lately
I suppose I can share with you what I've been up to lately. For the past couple of months_,_ I have been experimenting with 30-Day Challenges. Last month I did NF (and still going strong). This month I quit social media, YouTube, and the like. I have quit social media in the past, but I decided to do it again because I wanted to use my time more wisely. It is a total time and mind suck and fuck lol. Ironically, I am here, but I am using this as a means of expression, not consumption.
The social media ban I gave myself has been working pretty well. The one thing that is tripping me up is if I am just replacing social media, YouTube with podcasts on Spotify. I mean, technically I am still adhering to the challenge, but it still feels a bit too social media-y with me.
But, I need to entertain myself somehow, right?
I am probably just trying to fill some void somehow. That boredom void. Not wanting to be alone with my thoughts all the time. That kind of thing.
One positive thing I could do is just read more (which I have been doing).
I can't always just read though. Sometimes I crave being with others, socializing, etc. I think it comes down to striking the right balance.
I don't know though...I get tripped up with even streaming services. I don't want to just succumb to these things as a default. This is why I quit SM and YT in the first place. So, I just need healthier alternatives.
I NEED HOBBIES!!! I NEED ACTIVITIES!!! LOL :D
