Restarting

[justbeast]

I want to livejournal, but I don't know how to (re)start. I've been away for a while, and for some reason I'm lightly obsessed with the idea of chronological narrative, of continuity, of filling in what I've missed. It's silly, but compulsive. And I've had so many changes in my life, over the last couple of years, that I don't know how to go about

Hi, good to see you. Eh, let it all go. It IS chronological, you're back now, just start fresh. Chronological doesn't mean recording every single thing, after all.

And the long form that LJ has is so seductive, way more conducive to intimacy.

Not to mention critical thought!

I much prefer long-form. Write whatever. It's nice to hear from you again.

It's lovely to see you back in my LJ feed!

I also understand about the crushing inertia when one hasn't updated for awhile. Because of my new job, I cannot log into LJ during the day, and thus there are now long gaps between posts. I didn't think it would be a hurdle, but then I found that it was.

Long-form is my preferred method of communication as well. I can jabber sound-bites at anyone, but I only allow deeper levels of myself to emerge in long-form.
