A stray thought...
I never log into LiveJournal anymore. Why?
My once-chaotic life is calm now. Not boring or less interesting, but stable. As a teenager and early twenty-something, the peaks and valleys were so overwhelming that I had to keep this journal as a form of catharsis. I had to get the big feelings out somewhere, anywhere. Everywhere? I certainly didn't just talk about them here.
I'm so happy with my life now. But even though I don't feel the strong desire to write everything down here, I do sometimes come back and look over the things I wrote ten, fifteen, twenty years ago (oh no, I'm old).
Will I wish I had written down the things I'm doing, thinking, feeling now in twenty more years? Will LJ even... still exist then? I'm honestly surprised it's still functioning now.
Maybe I'll quietly start using this thing. I don't really have a community on here since it's not popular anymore, but I guess it would be just for me anyway. Or... maybe I'll say I'm going to use it and then forget to log in for another year or two. I don't know.
If you're reading this, I hope you're doing well and having a good holiday season.
