Summer Anonymeme

[giddy_london]

I've turned on anonymous posting. IP logging is turned off. I want you to post anything that you want in reply to this entry. Anything at all. Tell me a story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love, an opinion, a critique, something you've never told anyone, or just something you think I might like. Be brazen, be anonymous, be porny, be silly, be

I miss my ex. Dammit, how did that happen? :(

[giddy_london]

I can sympathise - sometimes I miss my ex, too. Which, you know, is weird because we ended things a long time ago and are still friends. And because he reads this journal.

What's making you miss your ex, loveliest?

[anonymous]

I've missed my ex constantly for about four years now. How to get over her...

[giddy_london]

Sometimes I wonder if there are people we really never get over.

[anonymous]

I'm allowing people to decide things for me so that they won't leave me.

[giddy_london]

Ooh, likely not a good idea, bb. I'm rather of the opinion that it's better to make your own choices, even when they're difficult ones. We spend the first eighteen or so years of our lives letting other people make decisions for us, and while we tend to get used to it, becoming an adult is so much fun because you are free to make your own choices. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do, but it's the experience of trial and error that makes us who we are. I can't imagine that people who love you and care about you would want to leave you for taking control of your life and doing as you like. So long as you aren't hurting yourself, family and friends should be able to support you without you giving up your right to make decisions for yourself.

I wanted to do this meme, but was too dense to figure out how to get anonymous posting on it.

[giddy_london]

But you aren't dense! You did leave an anonymous comment! Now come back and tell me something funny or write me some porn or pour your heart out!

[giddy_london]

Oh. Unless you meant you wanted to post this to your own journal and couldn't sort out how to allow anonymous commenting. In which case, you just leave the post unlocked, and change the comment settings down the bottom of the screen before you post. If you did mean that, you should figure it out. I wish more people would post this meme so I could comment.

I don't really do the "anonymous" thing. So here I go anyway:

Things are going to be really rough for me, work-wise, for the next two weeks. I don't know if you read my latest journal entry, but I'm switching jobs. This means finishing up at the old one and training at the new one. Oh, and babysitting too. It's gonna be a long two weeks. I expect to get way less sleep than usual :(

[giddy_london]

Don't do it, or can't do it? ;) (I tease because I love! And LJ doesn't exactly make anon commenting easy.)

But changing jobs can be exciting! Hopefully leaving your old one means your new one will be better, and while it's always easier (at least for me) to stay where you are and not have things change, change can be good. Hopefully you'll enjoy your new job much more than the old one, and once training is out of the way and you know what you're doing, you'll be happier. I know you'll have no problem getting through the next two weeks, even though it will be tough and sleep will be difficult to come by. Just look forward to any and all chances you have of sleeping in!

[promisethstars]

A little of both, really. I guess that I don't like the anonymous commenting, because I like people to know who they're talking to. Some people prefer the idea of being anonymous, but I don't. And you're right, because LJ doesn't make it easy at all.

It CAN be exciting. CAN be. I'm hoping that the new job will be better, but I don't know how much hope I'm holding out for that right now. But I need a change of job "scenery", so to speak, and this is definitely going to be different. I love sleeping, as you might have picked up on, and I know that the next two weeks are just going to be HELL. And I really don't have any chances to sleep in, sadly. I wish I did :(

I have one of those deep, dark secrets that is really only a secret to everyone but one person. I often wonder if I told the people I love and who love me the whole story, if it would somehow cure some mental anguish.

[giddy_london]

I guess the only way to figure that out would be to share it with other people. But if you're not comfortable doing that, at least you have one person you've talked to about it - that's got to offer a little bit of relief. I'm sure, though, that people who love you would be more than willing to listen to you if you decided to tell your secret.
