I got my LiveJournal account April 1st, 2003. So it's my LJversery. Or something. Half a decade is a long time online; no wonder I'm not finding it easy to leave

"That we can celebrate our differences and still build on our similarities. The other journal clones don't prevent that... but it's harder to build what's already happened spontaneously."
i simply just don't have the motivation anymore. I'm on IJ, but its like I already have all my friends here. Back in the day I was energetic/motivated enough to go around making random friends with strangers on LJ. Eventually, after years of writing, I learned to trust those people and they became close friends. Those people are in my most trusted groups and read my deepest secrets. I don't have the motivation to start over again what took years to build over here, on another site... Maybe I will in the future, but not now... it kind of sucks because I can't take all those friends with me.
My 5th LJversary is this July. (I was reading here before that, but that's when Kimmy dragged me in kicking and screaming. Well, kicking anyway.)
No Pity, No Shame, No Silence. There are bit of things in comments on some journals from that that I haven't said face to face to anyone. And I know I'm not the only one that can say that.
I miss LJ. The LJ where something like is possible is a kind of magic that only people and hearts can build - and people who can't see those hearts and that magic can destroy (and have destroyed) without the first clue of what they've done, or what we've all lost...
