Obligatory Farewell Explanation

[woundedhealer]

I just re-visited this site for the first time in a week, and before that, it had been several weeks. I see all of the various posts of my friends and I feel guilty for 1) not keeping up with their lives and 2) for not taking the time to write for myself

It's a sad day in LJ-land.

You crazy girl. Your journal will be there when you feel like writing. It's for you, not us, anyway. So don't you let this feel like an obligation, but rather like a place you might return someday. That last thing I want, and I think I speak for us all, is for you to feel like you might be letting me down because you're not reading my journal and commenting on it.

I took at least two weeks off myself, and I feel less inspired than ever to post things in here. I sometimes read other people's stuff, but I certainly don't check it everyday like I used to. I don't feel guilty, so don't you either.

Love you, and when you call, we'll talk. When we can, we'll eat together. And if you write, I'll read ... and maybe post a comment. Trust me, I know what it's like to be insanely busy with work. And believe it or not, I also know what it's like to try to balance work and love. Something has to give, and it it's your journal, so be it; at least I know it's not your love for your friends.
