Missing LJ
Where did everyone go? I've stayed in contact with a number of people that I shared my day with regularly, but there are so many that are MIA. I explored that site again after a 10+ year hiatus and found out that it was a Russian-owned ghost town. Journals weren't updated. Communities weren't updated. That being said, I imported what little I created her after a friend recommended it.
What do I miss about LJ? That feeling of finding an elongated table to sit at that wasn't being occupied by the football team and cheerleaders. I really enjoyed FB for a number of years, but after Trump was elected it feels like my friends and family are more divided into red and blue circles than ever before.
While a few of my trusted allies will know who I am, I want to be completely anonymous again. I want to have the freedom of writing about how shitty I feel about something without family and friends picking it apart. I want to grow a little I guess. I honestly feel that LJ introduced me to a world that I was unfamiliar existed in a sense. I miss that feeling...a lot.
