Goodbye, LJ. It's been swell.
[This was my very first user icon, back when I started my journal.]
This is actually kind of sad for me to put into writing, but - I guess it's time.
Over the past few years, I've been using my LiveJournal for actual journal and blogging purposes less and less. I've loved the community aspect I felt within my Friends List, and the safety to actually reveal secrets and pour a little bit of my heart out onto the electronic pages because it felt more "locked" than just straight out there on the internet.
But, LJ has made some decisions in the past few years that have just not sat right with me, and I've seen a lot of my friends move away from this platform for a variety of reasons. Though I haven't posted in months, and not with regularity in long time, I still read my Friends List and communities on occasion, trying to keep up, especially with the friends I've made through LJ.
I'm going to be locking down my journal, and mosey-ing my way out of here. I'm sad to write this, because I've been here since 2002 - there are years and years of me here, and relationships I've found and cultivated, but it's just time, you know?
Because I do have a permanent account, and because I never know what could happen, I'm going to keep my journal, and you're more than happy to keep me on your Friends List, if you'd like, in case you want to be the first to know if / when I come back.
Till then - here are places you can find me on the internet.
