I consider it to be therapy. I have so much shit going on in my head and I feel this compulsion to write it all down. It's a little bit of exhibitionism, too. I like to know that somebody is reading it.
not many people reply to my entries either, sometimes i feel a lil hurt but it is "MY" journal.. it's up to them to read and comment, basically it's my sanctuary.. a place to rattle and vent and complain. :)
I have two radically different categories/purposes. My unlocked entries are just stuff that's interesting to me. The FO stuff is sometimes to vent, although I've started having to build complicated filters to avoid causing drama (like my situation in Colorado). There are also a fair number of people on my FL from various other electronic fora of the past decade, and this is the only way I really keep in touch with them.
A lot of it I've been pretty oblique about, even filtered, for fear of getting people mad, or I haven't really posted about at all. I DID post about the aftermath of my Colorado trip -- I don't know if you saw that or not
( ... )
There are many people that troll my journal. Friends...etc. that will never and have never posted, but want to know what I'm doing, who I'm doing, where I'm doing. So I find, even with it as friend's only [only by me selecting Friends for privacy] I still feel limited and there are certain issues, I too have to remain tight lipped about...
You gotta teach me the filter thing... I get WAY more interesting that this sappy shit you guys get to read, lol.
i think I would reply if I have something that's meaningful to say.
My journal is for a record of my life for my own reference and a way for my friends and family to keep in touch with me and know about what's going on in my life.
sorry. i always want to comment, but i. agh. i get so nervous, because i don't really know you, but i want to, but i'm scared to try? it's just a stupid thing. i won't be scairt anymore.
my journal has been the scum of my personality in the past, and now it's just becoming honest life, because i can't be honest elsewhere.
look... once you've read my journal. you know me... I guess I kinda feel the same in that even though I've never met you physically, I've met you here, I read your stuff all the time...so I think I know you-ish. lol. Don't be scared; please comment.
