> I know that men need to stand on their own. Being able to do that, and extend it to others, is the whole point of men.
I think this is part of a good life for anyone. I’m not trying to be combative and I know this sentiment is coming from a deeply rooted emotional place, but I firmly disagree that this is just a men thing. My grandmother raised my mom by herself, moving across the country several times to find work so she could provide for her daughter and help set my mom up for an easier life than she had.
Working to establish yourself and then extend until you develop the capacity/bandwidth to help those around you do the same is something all good people should strive for and it’s true of every good parent.

I found this guide a few years ago: <https://sachachua.com/blog/2014/02/excuses-guide-blogging/>. I’ve ever since wondered whether there’s any point in forcing yourself to blog regularly when you really, really, really have nothing to say worth saying, even taking into account both Sacha Chua’s guide and Inkhaven’s blog.
I don't think it's for everyone. But if you're thinking about it, it's probably very likely you should try. Be ready for a very long slow build, most of the bloggers I know have been doing it for years, mainly for themselves. I've been at it it over a dozen years.

This makes me sad. Not necessarily questioning the truth of it - I think there's something to it - but it still makes me sad.

Amazing leap indeed.
