I've got my first new years resolution
If I feel depressed, angry, sad, etc. I am not putting it in an lj.
That's right, in the new year I'm abstaining from using an lj to be obscure, depressed, and opening my heart to show my innermost fears. A live journal isn't the place to be putting it. I dunno, maybe it's just me. But spilling your heart to a computer program that then shows it to the world isn't my idea of coping with pain. I mean anyone can read it, so you may be telling secrets to people you don't want to tell.
Also, lj's are becoming a replacement for conversation. For instance, say I have something that's bothering me. I put it in my lj, praying somebody will comment on it. They tell me "it's alright" or "I love you so much", or whatever. But does an lj comment replace actually hearing it in person? Does *hug* replace an actual hug that you really need? If you really have a problem, tell somebody, don't tell the world in an lj.
ok, I think that's all. Sorry if I've offended anyone with this, but I thought it needed to be said.
