Wow, it's been a while
I haven't posted here in nearly three years. :(
I wish I hadn't went on such a long hiatus from checking my LJ friends page... now I feel like I have to make up for it by reading my friends page from January 2009 to the present as quick as I can just so I might eventually feel less like I've wasted so much time. (Or, at the very least, I wish I was further along in this rereading than March 2009, which is still over two years before my hiatus from checking my friends page actually began...)
I wish people could get along better and wouldn't hate each other, or think less of each other, or make fun of each other for having different opinions about anything from politics to movies to games...
I wish that seeing people express opinions that are strongly different from mine wouldn't automatically make me feel like they'll hate me if I admit that I disagree with them... or even used to disagree with them. About a year ago, I finally managed to stop worrying about the threads (from back in 2011) that made me worry so much about all of that in the first place, but the feeling of worry about other similar things has persisted...
I wish I didn't have to cringe so much when I reread LJ posts and comments (or other online comments) that I made back when I was a teenager.
I wish I knew for a fact that my more recent posts are any better...
I wish I didn't sometimes feel like I'm way too different from anyone else to truly fit in anywhere...
I wish enough people were active on LiveJournal for me to know for a fact that someone will even see this post...
