it's time.
So I think I'm finally going to break up with livejournal... for several reasons.
Part of me has wanted to hang onto this because of my history with this LJ, this eatmymoose here. And it's true. I've had this account since 2003. 2003! I signed up on Christmas after having several other blogs on other websites and for some reason, this one has stuck. I was only in grade 9 when I came up with this stupid username lol and it's been a key part of my adolescence. My password has been the same since I signed up (you'll never guess it but it had something to do with a boy I liked at the time). In fact, my LJ created some friendships and solidified others. My LJ did that! This place was one of the first internet things that allowed me to connect closely with people in a way that I couldn't do in person, and probably still can't, because I'm a bit of an introvert. The people who read my entries were the only ones who realized just how emotional and crazy I was in high school. I had so many ups and downs and experiences that I published here. Some have been deleted, some remain private or for certain eyes only, but a lot are still here. I just went through some of my old entries and had a major nostalgia-fest.
But I stopped posting so frequently towards the end of high school, anyway. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I was okay. I didn't need to rant or panic or cry as much...also Facebook became huge. This LJ turned into a mini life update place. And in 2010 it became my photo a day blog. Since then, I haven't updated much. I've logged on 95% of the time to get updates from communities.
And as much as I don't want to leave that behind, I eventually have to. So I'm doing it now. I'm at a new point of my life and I'm trying to figure out how to function as an adult. It's not so much the platform I'm leaving behind, but this account and its baggage from over the years.
Don't worry, I will log on periodically. There are a handful of people and communities that I like to keep up with. I just don't plan on posting here anymore.
Besides. I just got tumblr, ha.
So you can find me there. I plan on starting up my photo a day project again and I'm excited to use the tumblr platform.
