Dear LJ friends

Jan 02, 2013 19:08

Once upon a time, we were sad and lonely bastards who posted their thoughts to the void for all the world to see, not knowing who was reading, if anyone were reading at all. Heartbreaks, humiliations, longings, and high hopes: nothing was sacred, and everything was sacred at the same time; if it was the truth, it was immutable, untouchable, ( Read more... )

Beautiful entry!! Your first paragraph made me cry.
Don't go!
LJ is sacred territory!
I was excited to see you writing.

The LJ world is such a different place, you are right, maybe it is nostalgia, but its the only place where i can write like nobody's reading.

Happy new year!

Hey Mich! Long time no see!

I actually find it hard to believe anyone's still reading this thing, so your comment is a pleasant surprise - but yeah, LJ is something special, even now. :)

Happy new year and all the best to you!

I keep coming back every once in a while, turning over the empty boxes with my foot to see what's still here.

Happy 2013.

"nothing was sacred, and everything was sacred at the same time"

<3

I'm still here. :) I hold it more sacred than any other newfangled place on the internets. :)

Glad you're here! Admittedly sometimes I do visit your journal with the purpose of knowing "hey what's Darlene up to lately?" :)

And hmm, maybe it's time to see the LJ echo chamber as a feature, not a bug.

It's good to see th old school coming back even if it's just to turn off th lights

Why are you leaving? Is it the spammy comments?

Will you be writing elsewhere? Or is this "th end"?
