Labels, Contact Page, Other Changes (and Feelings)

Hi again. (Wait, why did the font change?) 

idk *shrugs* anyway- 

I've been making changes on this blog for the last few days. You might have moticed them, or you might have not. Well, now you know. I made another page (the tabs toward the top of the blog). This new one is a Contact Me page. I think that's more effective than just keeping all my contact info in a blog post. I also put a reminder to check out that page if any reader wants to know the other ways to contact me towards the bottom of the blog. I also updated my Blogger profile info fairly recently. I think it's better than what it was before.

I made other blog changes but the other one I want to talk about in this post is the addition of labels. I added a list of labels to one of the sides of the blog (the left side, I think). My hope is that having the list of labels avilable on the blog and adding labels to my posts will make it easier for me and everyone else to navigate my posts and scroll through specific types of posts I and anyone else may be interested in at any moment. As of right now, I only finished adding labels to posts from 2019 to the current day. Not all of my posts will be labeled; the only ones that will are those with clear themes (e.g. Picrew, skits, poetry, original art). Depending on the label, I labeled additional posts before 2019. Scrolling through lots of my old posts (including those that aren't even that old at this point, like from 2021) are making me quite emotional. Like, geez, looking over some of these posts have made me close to sobbing. (Yeah, it's that bad. ;-; ...) Oh, I almost forgot to mention. 

The "Cutepups Support" label is for a category of posts I started years ago. For the most part, I switched it to encompass the Support Page pages I have. Basically, posts labeled "Cutepups Support" now include any positive mental health posts. I included some of my poetry under this label as well. So anything mental health and positivity related will go under this label. I hope that clears any possible confusion. 

Anyway, here are the labels that have made me nearly cry: pets and skits. Yes, those two more than any other. Looking at old pictures from my old posts about my pets is making me sad. So much has changed regarding my pets since a few years ago. As for my skits, I spent this afternoon rereading some of my skits from 2018 and later. I forgot I wrote some of them. Reading them over felt quite emotionally painful to me. I think my skit writing was amazing. What the heck, I was that talented as a writer? My own skits have emotionally moved me. That's wild, like, what the heck. My heart ached and I felt like I could cry while reading them. I really did go there in these skits. And to think the skits started as some silly little thing. Ow...

I've also been listening to music on my Duke/Fierdan Spotify playlist while doing all this, which added another level of nostalgia and sadness to the emotions I have been feeling while doing this. I don't want to provide links, but here are the titles of the skit stories that I'm talking about (if you know, you know): 

Explain Yourself at the Help; I Have No Home / Take Me Home; Darkness is Where the Demons Play; another weird starting skit; idk what this post is but enjoy; the second half of Very Very Cursed Post Fool Skit (in a weird, messed up way); Who Are You?; and New Skit: Preview 2.

The skits have content warnings. To prioritize your mental health, I don't suggest reading or rereading them.

 As for everything pets related, I plan on making my pets update posts soon. One last thing: I plan on changing the blog URL very soon and seeing if this ads thing can work for this blog (I'm crossing my fingers that it will). The new URL will be the new title I wrote on the top of the blog. 

That's all for now. Thanks for reading. Bye now.
