As long as I am physically capable of updating once a year, I will continue to do so indefinitely until which point either this site is dead or I am. I see no reasons to change that policy. This in spite of there not being a single update from any "friended" LJ in my circle for this entire calendar year, and we are more than 3/4 of the way through. I still check about quarterly to see if there's a reply to anything I ever type out. No such voice has emerged from the void since 2013. I doubt one ever will again.
Why stand sentinel then over this pile of poorly appearing HTML rubble and broken links? I suppose I set myself up years ago to be the stubborn one who would "be here when everyone else was gone." What smug self satisfaction does that leads to if you're the individual turning the lights off for the last time and no one else even notices? How petty. I suppose I can never pretend I am something other than that.
I look forward to Spatch's Thanksgiving Day post now as his only light into this dark nothingness. At least then, for a few moments, will my LJ look and feel as it once did, anew with content and well wishes.
