I started the daunting project somewhat last night of cleaning house here on this journal but honestly, the mess is just too big and with everything else I have to accomplish in my life, I'm feeling like I need a fresh start.
So I'm going to create a new journal to give me something to look forward to. The icons here are tired and old. I have alot of new ones that are beautiful and I'd love to use them. I'm also going to look into seeing if maybe Angelys would like to come up with something for my LJ background, maybe give my secrets_stolen community over to that other community that puts them up for auction? I don't know yet.
I think I'll keep this journal here, simply because the amount of stuff that's on here would take forever to clear out and let's face it, there is alot of history here. Almost five years or more of my life. Or I may keep more personal stuff here and use the new journal for stuff more related to work and progress.
I'm going to get rid of some of the communities I was once a part of and maybe find some new ones. I just don't see their relevance any longer and never post.
I'd like to keep the majority of friends I have here but looking through my list, I truly don't know who is what journal now, what ones have been abandoned or those who friended me for some reason or another awhile ago but now aren't really interested in the way my life is going.
I want to move away from "vampire" and more into me, who can't be labeled! True, I haven't been sunshine and roses lately but I can't sugar-coat my struggles with life or work. At present, though I've been accomplishing more and more on my fashions, I feel I'm falling way behind in my personal life.
I have the feeling that it's going to get a great deal worse before it gets better but maybe this will help. Maybe a fresh journal will help my perspective, after all, don't writers start new journals when their current ones are full?
Well, I think I'm going to declare this one unofficially full.
Signing off...
