If I know, what I know, losing isn't learning to be lost / It's learning to know when you're lost

Well, I suppose it hasn't quite been a year since I last updated. So there's that, I guess.

The sudden migration from Facebook to Ello made me remember that Livejournal exists, and although I suppose it is a bit of a barren wasteland and not exactly the hub of bustling internet activity that it was over a decade ago, it still suits my needs. I

I've been writing the same letters for ten years. I reread my "secret" LJ all the time, and it is something I genuinely and very self-indulgently enjoy. It makes me feel warm, like I am hugging the sixteen, twenty, twentyfour year old girl that wrote those entries, like I know who I am.

I remember when I started my LJ at the ripe old age of 19, I was the only person in my group of friends who was involved in anything like this. It was like my own alternate universe with a whole different set of friends. And then everyone got a blog. And Facebook. And my real friends were suddenly online and...then it was not so special anymore. But even though I haven't updated in eons, I can never delete my LJ. It is just such a priceless artifact.

Also, my husband randomly yells out "WE HAVE TO GO BACK" at least once a week, so I chuckled at your reference.

Keep writing!

Good to see you here.

Welcome back.
Yeah started this when I was 14! Now it's been 15 years but I still come back. Just a secret place that I come back to; reading my old entries and musing my history and changes. Sometimes I write, mostly to no one.

Still there isn't anything like this to me. Long form writing? Journals? Nah. It's livejournal...

I've been feeling like Robinson Crusoe on LJ lately. Seriously, everyone I knew on here has quit and I have been writing into the void. I still do it because I find this format convenient. It's nice to be able to look back in the archives to find out what the weather was like this time last year, what my new year's resolutions were five years ago, what date that thing happened, etc.

So welcome back. I like your new style of writing.
