Three years is kind of insane to think about, and this would be the first full year that anyone has gotten to read any of these posts. Surprisingly, that didn't really change anything at all, which I guess is a good sign that I've always been doing this for myself. This third year is when things started to settle down a little bit, a routine started to form and there was a bit of inertia in terms of developing the site, but nothing that I would consider bad. On the listening end, I was still rediscovering my pace after ARAD2023, and on the writing end, I think I reached a point where I was starting to meta-analyse how I wrote these posts and change what I didn't like about them. I did notice that it started to become a bit superficial with the way I would write about certain things solely to stick to some pre-existing trend in my own blog (especially with how I kept forcing myself to write about every song individually when reviewing EPs). I'll admit that I've been struggling to keep up with the pace of this project ever since I entered university, and because of that, I think it's probably smart that I slow it down a bit. The one-post-every-three-days thing was ambitious and wonderfully pulled off in the first two years, but that was when I had a lot more time on my hands. To keep me from burning out, and to make sure I can focus on my academics, I'm going to whittle it down to once a week, every Wednesday. I do still have plenty of ideas on how to make this site even better, but I'm realising really quickly that time is my most limited resource by a large margin, and not just for quietless. It's a bit of a downer, that I kind of have to pick and choose what to pour my time into, and quietless is, honestly, probably going to sit on the backburner for a hot minute. For what it's worth, I have every intention to keep this going for as long as possible, so it's not like I'm anywhere close to thinking of ending this project, it's just that the more high effort ventures like revamping the site and introducing new features are not going to come anytime soon. Beyond that, I'm just happy to still love music as much as I do. I've gotten to enjoy it even more in other ways now that I'm in university, but there's nothing quite like still getting to sit down and pen down a barrage of words that barely make any sense, about how much I love listening to the music I love listening to.
