Dear LJ
It's been real, Livejournal. It's been some 14 years since we first got together, and you've been a loyal confidante throughout some of the roughest and formative periods of my life. I'm sorry that I haven't been spending as much time with you as I used too -- like when I would regularly hit you up on the daily, sometimes 3-5 times a day. I'm not a young man anymore, and it simply wasn't sustainable to keep expending myself with such vigor and candor. Furthermore, though I still try to live with a certain level of transparency in my day to day life, you are far too much of a blabber mouth for me to entrust my thoughts to you anymore. We had a toxic relationship where I'd only show you the darker, more depressive aspects of myself, and I was no longer comfortable with having that broadcast to everyone within your network.
I don't think I could ever completely cut my ties with you. You've always had a knack for remembering bits of myself that have since lost themselves to time. I'll come back every once in a while, and maybe we can take a few strolls down memory lane. And who knows, given our history and where I am at later in life, maybe I'll pop in and we can converse a bit. Things are rarely so clean-cut, eh?
Anyways, if you're looking for me, you can find me at http://bayhowl.tumblr.com/. I doubt Tumblr and I will ever have as quite an intimate relationship as we did, but I've realized now that some things are better left unsaid to others. If it's any consolation, my relationship with Tumblr is limited and with the explicit purpose of putting out some of my poetry. Rest assured, what we had could never be duplicated.
As for where I am in life, I'm far from happy, but I'm working on it. Thanks for everything.
Affectionally yours,
Ryan
