surprisingly, i don't completely mourn the loss of my livejournal. i had it for over 10 years and had read the whole thing cover to cover numerous times. i cherished that naivete of my early 20s, the excitement of the future and so many new opportunities, so many worlds to dabble in. i miss that voice. i used to analyze to my heart's content and it kept me afloat. the dreaminess of it all. i still carry some wistfulness with me where i walk, but life doesn't have as much room for it anymore.
i really want to have a blog, a full blown blog to speak to the "masses" with. i need that outlet. i don't even know how to get started though. wordpress just baffles me. i feel stupid trying to maneuver around it. i need to contract the me from 2001 to help get me started. i adored the livejournal community, how we would read each other's writing and comment on each other's stories. with mostly strangers. it was so liberating.
i think having that outlet will do wonders for me. i just need to decide how frank i will be. how much i want to reveal. i feel passionate about living truly and not being stuck in a job, so how can i stick myself out there when i am an Associate Director at a corporation? my goal would be to have a blog, and comment on other blogs in an effort to advertise my blog. because what i have here is just a journal, not a blog.
i will try to capture that journal essence though, that is my forte. stick with what you know: dreaminess.
