Livejournal?!

So last night, I solidified a friendship by exchanging... livejournal information with someone. It seemed like the thing to do after receiving a link to an old LJ post.

Upon opening my blog I just... oh my gods how I missed it. I used a pretentious parchment looking background with a colorful quill looking thing, and my moods were little red foxes. I have always had unspeakably pretentious music tastes. I read some of my friend's posts, and oh what an exciting time in their life it was. It isn't mine to share but it made me smile. And then I read mine.

And... maybe it's OK that I left? Oh my that was quite the journey. At least toward the end of that, terrible job, terrible coworkers, terrible girlfriend though I didn't know it at the time- it is not possible to gaslight a lifelong keeper of a diary so it wasn't permanent. Anyway I really miss LJ and the friends I had there... and a clean break and new things in my life were probably the best thing that could have happened. Dwelling over the events of the early 2010s is not a thing I should probably ever do.

But oh how I miss the friends page. It was so nice to see a new section each day of what all your friends were up to, and you could talk to them and not turn it into this huge reblogversation... so i guess now I know what to do with THIS journal. I will write beautiful things and I will make more friends who also write beautiful things so that together we can create the most meaningful reading pages.
