Twitter without a timeline

I sometimes find myself wishing that there was such a thing as a Twitter without a timeline.

I take comfort in the fact that people don't have to read my shit if they don't want to.
I take comfort in the fact that very few people even know this place exists. (Hi Eva.)

Sometimes, though, my thoughts and feelings happen too quickly for me to blog like this.  Sometimes, I just want to say a few quick things and be done with it.

Sometimes, I just want my feelings out short and simple, like a tweet.

But Twitter isn't the best place for stuff like that.  Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook all have timelines that forces the viewer to see everything their friends say, everything their friends do.

It scares me.

It reminds me of my parents, always trying to figure out what I'm doing, and yet not supporting me in the things I do.  They're suspicious of every friend I have.  I'm not allowed to cry.  I'm not allowed to look or act sad.  At one time, I wasn't allowed to sing.

They'll judge me.  For every thing I do, I'll be judged.  Are your feelings real, or are you just being a fake?  Are you any good?  Sometimes, I don't tweet things because I say them to myself, and I think, "It doesn't feel real enough.  They'll think I'm faking, or I'm being overly dramatic."  Maybe I am.

Right now, I don't want to blog.  I want to tweet.

  1. I know too well exactly what you mean. ;w;

    That's why I made another twitter that's just for spamming whatever irrelevant thoughts that come to mind, without worrying about it showing up on anyone's timelines. And while I'm not totally against anyone knowing it, I don't plan to allow anyone to follow it.

    This kind of thing might work for you too?
