One Year Later and I’m Still Oversharing

So apparently, I’ve been doing this for a year.

Which is wild, because on one hand, it feels like I just launched this thing last month… and on the other hand, I feel like I’ve been yelling into the void for years now. Time isn’t real, especially when you're a girly pop with ADHD, a weed habit, and 43 unfinished drafts in her blog post queue.

But here we are — one year of The Pot Ponderer.

🌀 What even is this blog?

When I started The Pot Ponderer, I didn’t have a detailed content strategy or a Notion board full of goals. I had vibes. I had thoughts. I had weed. And most importantly, I had a lot of feelings I wasn’t seeing reflected in the content I consumed.

I wanted a space that felt like a late-night FaceTime call. Like a messy journal entry. Like passing the blunt and getting real. Sometimes it's soft. Sometimes it’s chaotic. Sometimes it’s just me yelling about how I haven't touched my book in weeks but Hunter and Peyton deserve rights.

I’ve written about burnout. About not having a “real” routine. About getting stuck in survival mode. About my girlfriend moving in. About wanting more — from life, from people, from myself. I’ve spiraled. I’ve soft-launched. I’ve deleted entire drafts because they didn’t feel like me.

And through it all, I’ve kept writing.

💻 A year of showing up

Not every post was perfect. Not every post was SEO optimized (lmao, sorry Google). Some posts went viral in my little corner of the internet. Some didn’t. Some were deeply vulnerable and cracked open a part of me I didn’t expect to share publicly.

But every post came from a place of realness. And I think that’s worth celebrating.

A year of showing up, even when I was tired. Even when I wasn’t sure anyone was reading. Even when the power went out and I was trying to edit a post in the dark. (Shoutout to my girlfriend for holding the flashlight while I emotionally spiraled.)

✨ Some milestones I’m proud of:

Relaunching the blog with the OG name: The Pot Ponderer
Writing consistently for the first time in… ever
Getting into my vlog groove again with Keep Up With Kass
Creating content that’s deeply, unapologetically queer
Having people tell me, “This post felt like you were in my head.” (literally best compliment ever, pls keep saying it)

🌿 What’s next?

Honestly? More of this. More softness. More chaos. More behind-the-scenes rambling from a queer stoner trying to make sense of it all. More long-winded late-night posts. More honesty. More fiction updates. More seasonal depression check-ins. More main character energy in the streets of Saskatoon.

I’ve got ideas for series. Guest posts. Maybe a newsletter? Maybe some Project Hunter updates if I ever finish a damn chapter. (Justice for Hunter and Peyton, fr.)

But mostly, I’m just excited to keep creating. To keep sharing little pieces of my brain with the people who care enough to read them.
