I'm struggling a little with the purpose of this livejournal. Is it a personal journal to process my feelings? Is it a way to keep up with people I don't see often? Is it a place for me to get support? I'm never sure, so I end up writing a post assuming one function, and feeling uncomfortable about it later.
In addition, I recently found the supposedly-secret secondary journals of a couple of my close friends, and there are certain things I've written here that I'm not actually comfortable having float out in the ether like that.
The upshot is that I'm going friends-only. I just want to know who's reading. I don't mean to make myself less accessible though, so if you're reading this and want to see more, by all means let me know!
Then a more abstract question... Does this livejournaling promote useful processing, or paranoid overanalysis, or flippant dismissal? Is it doing good or bad things for me? I'm not sure, but I'm going to try out some different ways of using it, to see what works.
