I don't really feel like my journal is my own anymore.
I'm feeling really rather thoughtful and quite upset, but i can't write my feelings here, because well... it's expected of me to be mopey.
I hate keeping my feelings locked up :(

I just feel liek a lot of people on my friends list, when faced with me feeling down, think "Oh, here we go again, she's moping". And come to expect it,because they think that's just the way i am.

So what??? It's YOUR journal, you put in it what you want to... if you're happy, say so, if people aren't happy that you're happy then tough, let them be not happy. Friends are people who'll be there for the good times as well as the bad! (I'm sure that speach is usually given the other way round, but still).
lots of love

we don't mind!

I know what you mean, but just go ahead and do it.

If you feel it's necessary, just write 'mopey post' and cut it so people have a choice. It's your journal so do with it what you will. The minute you feel you're solely writing for other people then there's a problem, no?

Another suggestion is to do a select-friends post only (find it in security settings), but then you could go on and just do a private one for your eyes only. Decisions decisions... you have them.

it is your journal, it is for you first most, so write what you want....

And since when was it expected of you to be mopey?

I certainly don't expect you to be mopey honey! *HUG* you write what you bloody well like - as clephan said, it is your journal, and it is also up to you who sees stuff. To be honest though if you feel people are going to be judgmental then maybe it's worth considering whether you should have 'em on your fiends list anyway?

Personally speaking I don't mind at all when you post something mopey - why on earth would I? Of course I would rather see you being cheerful, but that's just cause I'm nice like that ;) You post what you want. People don't have to read it, do they. *squish*
