It really has been a long time since I had a journal. I was an avid LJ addict several years back, but I mostly fell out of contact with a lot of those friends. Looking at my friend's list even reveals several people that have cancelled accounts. Rather than try to open that angsty bag of awful again, I may start using this dreamwidth account that a friend so graciously invited me to use.

At one point in time I really liked to write about myself. I thought that all of my inner thoughts and feelings were worth sharing with friends, but never with friends that I had outside the internet. It took a long time, but I figured out how wrong I was. If something is so important that I feel the need to share it, maybe I really should consider sharing it with someone close to me and lose the internet veil. I don't need relative strangers to share my burden. I need the people that really care about me to share my problems, or no one at all.

Thus, this journal isn't a friend's journal. It isn't my space to share things that I wouldn't tell other people. It isn't really a place for angst, squabbling, petty complaints or emotional baggage. Instead, sharing something here should be sharing an accomplishment, an achievement or a revelation.

As such, any posts in this journal are likely to be few and far between.
