yours to fill or burst

If I had to liken online publishers to boyfriends, then Blogger is the abusive one I don't know why I always go back to, and Livejournal is the stalwart lover who forgives me every time I leave him for Blogger. I don't know why I always do this, but my wanderlust has finally abated (in more ways than one) and I find that it's not so bad to indulge ( Read more... )

Firstly, I'm glad you're writing again! You've always been able to write beautifully, even in your simple journals like this, and I hope slowly, you'll be able to overcome your fear of it again. People always tend to be afraid of things that matter the most to them ♥ fight on bb!

I hope your bronchitis is much better now! (hugs) ;_; December will definitely be much better, son!

I will be, hopefully, getting a new phone in December and if I get an iPhone, the first app I will download is instagram. THESE ARE SO PRETTY! Also, you look prettier and more mature every time I see a photo of you. My son is growing up so well :"> ♥

Also, I totally relate with you about the blogger/lj thing. I personally have a private blogger to put all my most horrific/illogic thoughts within. For some reason, I just can't bring myself to defile my lj. :|

Do you really think so? I'm flattered, ehehehe. I always thought my written voice was quite annoying, so I was surprised when a couple of friends said they enjoyed reading my journal and were excited that I was writing again. Yesterday I was going through posts from months ago and I didn't quite find myself so annoying anymore. Lately I've also realised that this fear of screwing up something you love can reflect just how badly you want to succeed at it. I'm working on not letting this fear consume me ( ... )

"If I had to liken online publishers to boyfriends, then Blogger is the abusive one I don't know why I always go back to, and Livejournal is the stalwart lover who forgives me every time I leave him for Blogger." - I second this. I'm guilty of copy-pasting posts from Blogger on LiveJournal, and I admit I've thought of deleting this account numerous of times but I can't seem to. It's quiet here, but nice. On Blogger I feel like I'm just talking to myself.

It's an ardent desire of mine to travel and to meet great friends. Someday I hope I get the chance to. Your pictures are lovely. Keep writing. :)

I know what you mean - even the silence is cosy :) There's something intrinsically more personal here.

Thank you! I hope you do get to do that at the right time. Livejournal was my means to doing that - I've made great friends from all over the world and even after four years, we're still very close. I do wish to meet them in person one day, though.
