Can I just say that this is such a happy trip to be posting on here again? Never in a million years did I think I would be logging in (not to mention remembering my password) to post
( Read more... )
if you ever come back around these parts for whatever reason, please PLEASE come join all us old LJ'ers over at Dreamwidth.
all of us from the "good ole days" of the internet and the early days of LJ have sort of been displaced from here in recent years.
with the way today's social medias work... it's not a stretch to say that online journaling has been super refreshing for me and for everyone else who has decided to pick back up on the LJ vibe over on DW. sometimes you just need to scream into the void. sometimes you need an actual support group based on people who actually read your deeper thoughts and know about your life through your journal entries. everything these days seems to be based on numbers, likes, shares, hearts... it's all so shallow. it's all so void of the emotion we had back in the day with places like LJ...
also, i guess you might be wondering, but i found your journal because i do this thing where i click myself into a rabbit hole through interests/and profiles sometimes. then, i come across people who stumbled back on their journals later in life when they're older and i feel compelled to say something.
i started my DW account over at pill.dreamwidth.org when i was.... 32? years old? i think? i had used LJ sporadically since like, year 2000, and i finally decided, "hey, i think online journaling is something i'm missing. i think it's something i'm going to give another shot." and i have truly loved it ever since.
anyway - i know it's been ages since you even wrote this entry... but i figured if you ever returned someday and had the same sort of spark you had here when you do, that maybe you'd like to come see where we've all gone since LJ changed so much!
