Did you miss me?
It's been a long time, hasn't it? How are you?
I've been journaling elsewhere, for a while, anonymously and without any readers, as far as I know. Evidently, I just have a need to write. Then I thought, "Self, you've already got a journal that has actual friends who might read it and enjoy it. Why are you writing over here where no one reads it at all?"
The thing is, and I think this is the reason why I wasn't writing over here, is because there are so many people who don't actually know me, but I'm not actually anonymous here, and that was inhibiting. So I've already purged a lot of people whom I've never met from my journal. Yes, I have kept a few people whom I've never met, but who might have possibility.
If I've actually met you, and we're good friends, and I've purged you, please send me a message. I probably didn't recognize you because you were just too good at being anonymous! If we've never met, I'd rather meet you, finally, or hear your vioce or something, so I may be sending you a message. I'd feel more comfortable either becoming closer, or not being "friends." One or the other. It's that grey area in-between that makes me squeamish, I think.
