I always wander back this way hoping to find the same magic that was here in the beginning. Then I immediately feel like an asshole because I realize that the magic came from people actually checking in, writing, and sharing in this place. While I held out from FB and other social media sites for a good while, shaking my fist in the air and ( Read more... )

I'd been growing more disgruntled with the state of FB by the day. A few weeks ago, I'd made the decision to pretty much shut my account down except for keeping up with a handful of friends who can't deal with other media platforms or for groups that I use to connect with people for work/activism. My bestie's approach totally inspired me to rethink my own FB. She posts only for 24 hours and then deletes/privatizes. I found myself feeling like I want to do the same--except I still didn't feel like sharing much on FB anymore. Oddly enough, it was the invite to a group on FB for LJ that was the sign to me that it was time to act on all the things I'd been mulling over for a while. Love the way the signals point the way when we pay attention to them. :)

I've been a terrible voyeur lately, always reading but not taking the time to tell you that I am still here, still love you, and more proud every fucking year of you. <3

thank you! i've missed you a lot and was actually thinking about you just the other day.

i don't kid myself, that we're going to have the livejournal of old again, but i swear to goddess there is viable magic about this place. i've encountered it many times. not the least of that being how the connections i've made through the venue have changed my life in some very big and mysterious ways. anyway, the livejournal of old isn't what i need right now. i need who we are where we are now.

I need who we are where we are now. Yes!! This, exactly. I don't need to go back. I just want to move forward with some of the familiar faces who have now known me so long they are more like family than much of my actual family.
