History of the Blog
Welcome to my little spot on the internet, guys! I'm Disil, and this is the website where I get wilder than ever. This is where I do 'expressive writing', a form of writing that focuses on getting any emotion out of my head.
2022
It all started circa 2022, when I somehow can get into a prestigious high school. But things got pretty bad, and I can't really afford to live in that school, and it ends up with me compromising with my parents ability to support me.
Anyway, that July, I pumped a lot of posts to my main blog, All About Disil. I was preparing to left the blog with a standing legacy, because I knew, that once I got to live in dorm, I wouldn't be able to write in my blog anymore.
And yeah it sucks, when things didn't go on your planned way. I got (kinda) depressed, and have no motivation to write anymore. At that time, I have reached break-even point.
I take an extended long break during that period, to create something new. I need to kept myself busy, so I don't use my time to grief about my decision. And this blog is born!
I have been experimenting with Bear Blog platform since late 2021, but never quite get the hang of it mainly because I'm not comfortable with Markdown writing system.
At some point, for surprising my viewers, I moved some, if not most of my posts from All About Disil to this platform. It was a long & tedious process, but because I had the courage, I still do that.
Then I realize it'd not work. Why? It miss so many features to be a "full-fledged blog". No search features, no comments section, no proper categories system, etc. My hard work were kinda wasted and I got pretty annoyed.
And there is it, a half-assed blog, with the promotion of "we're moving to a new platform" on the AAD main blog still ongoing. I decide to make an announcement that this (Bear) project is put on hold.
Except, it's not😁
I put down the website address on some of my social media, in order to kept them safe from my normal audience. I want to make this blog as secret as possible.
2023
I changed the name of the blog to Disil Stuffs, with the motto "A blog where I tell the truth" which tbh sounds like Republican campaign haha
And I start to do journaling here. It works! I am grateful that I can express my real personality here, without being worried sick about my irl image.
Freedom comes at expense. I can't promise that I'd continue writing freely like this, as I knew, at some point, my secret would be unveiled. I can't promote this blog anywhere, except for a handful of friends that I trust.
Last quarter of 2023 arrives. I posted regularly on this blog, and I did get experience to talk with another people. I can't believe it, I thought because Bear didn't have comment system, nobody will reach out to me.
2024
2024 arrived. Now I fully focused on Disil's Stuff. I tried (and failed) to modernize this blog radically. So I took a bit of a hiatus and trying to get to know what I've done wrong.
Well, a lot gone wrong. I failed to made my personal branding a real thing, instead opt to separate the identities of Satria (my real one) and Disil (my internet identity). So, in May 2024, I started to slowly reintegrate things. Yep. That mean, this blog will be my main blog, that'll have everything, ranging from my thoughts to my portfolio.
And that also mean I officially retired All About Disil this year. After surprising result from audience (yeah, I actually got real audience in Bear), I decided to retire quicker from my Wordpress blog than I planned (originally it'd be 2025).
The later part of 2024 were dominated by my involvement in The Reliquid Project, so I'm not doing blog too much. It's also the time where I grew increasingly weary of writing in this blog.
2025
2025 begins with a blog post about refocusing my plan for the future. It's been 6 months since then, and yeah, half of them are done. I'm proud of the progress I made.
Early 2025 is marked by the return of tech tutorials on my blog, especially regarding games. It's fun to write about it once in a while. Also it spruce up things in my blog, so it could improve from being thoughts-based content all the time to something more diverse.
In the future, when I looked back at "what I've done in the past of my life", I hope I can feel great about this blog.
