Aug. 23rd, 2019 12:39 pmI've been regular on Live Journal for 7 years but have got out of the habit of posting and reading recently.
It's partly due to getting out of the habit. One thing I've noticed about myself is that as soon as I get out of the habit of something, it stops completely.
I also discovered that my wife has been reading my posts, and while it's not a problem in some respects, it kind of alters the dynamics of lj. What I like about lj is you can write what you want without someone from the 'real world' being involved in any way. It's like a personal journal that only a few chosen people have access to.
On Dreamwidth I don't have as many regular friends but my wife doesn't know it exists and so it's a place where I can journal without thinking about she might be thinking at the back of my mind. It kind of feels weird knowing that you're keeping a journal that someone else from your life is reading.
Does that make sense?
Anyway, I'll see how it goes on here. : )
