(no subject)
I keep doing this. I keep stepping out for months at a time and then popping my head back in and saying, hey, maybe I'll stay this time. And then I don't.
I write longhand on paper, sometimes, when I need to get things out, and a lot of my things are more personal than they used to be, because I've figured out with much greater accuracy how messed up I am. There are things I can't say here, not even in a locked post under a cut.
I blog on Tumblr and I can say a lot of them there. Not all of them, but a lot of them. I curate another side of myself there, one I can't show here, because I have a reputation to maintain in real life and potential employers or former students MIGHT make it here in a hop-skip-jump from a Google search of my name.
I don't want to leave, though. I miss what this journal used to be to me, but you guys are still here. I mean, most of you are also on Facebook and I see you there, but this place is different from that, and I don't want to abandon it.
This is not a farewell post. This is hello again, I love you; I can't make promises, but we'll see what happens.
