(no subject)
so i'm gonna give this a shot and start posting publicly again. i've been using this thing as a private journal for years, basically documenting my inner dialogue and personal issues, but i miss the LiveJournal scene of old. everyone is on facebook now, but that means nobody is actually present there. it's an endless hall of mirrors, a black hole of reposts being reposted into a meta nightmare. it feels more like a debilitating mental condition every day. i think it's a failed social experiment that's just spread too widely to die. i know i'll still be on there, mindlessly scrolling and posting links to shit that a handful of people care about and even fewer will actually click on to read the articles, but i want to feel like a thinking, feeling, person again, not just another repost machine. so, here goes my attempt. Jon, i know you reached back into this place the other day. i poked around and saw that at least two more people occasionally pop back in to check if anything still lives here. If you feel like joining me in this, feel free to speak up.
