twirlgrrlThings are going so dang well, I don't have much angst to write about. And since I started this LJ to vent angst that wasn't getting any airtime on my mama LJ, I'm sometimes slow about updating it when things are going well. In that sense, I use this just like I used my old paper journals. The difference is, I know other people are reading it, at least occasionally. If it were all private entries, I would probably just write endlessly about work stress. But my real-life friends have been listening to that crap for years and years already. Plus, it's boring.
So I'm thinking I'd like to delve deeper into memories. I'd like to tell myself stories from my past, get them down on "paper" before they disappear entirely from my memory. The only thing about that plan is that I feel a bit too conscious of the fact that I have LJ-friends who, presumably, will end up reading a lot of what I write. It's so weird to be journaling with the idea that someone else will read it. But not so weird that I'd consider making the memory-lane posts private. I have a lot of real-life friends on my FL, including one of my very oldest friends, someone I've known for almost 25 years now--Hi Nat! And let's see, B&B, hasn't it been 21 years, and J&M, 16 years? So yeah. As I'm blathering on about stuff that happened long, long ago, one of those old friends might pipe up with a forgotten detail, or even a correction.
Things really ARE going amazingly well. Evan is being an absolute dreamboat, helping me when I need help, caring for Blue while I work, and just generally being pleasant, patient, accommodating, and kind. We are enjoying Blue so much together these days, too.

Date: 2006-10-09 03:43 am (UTC)I think your idea of using this trauma-free time as an opportunity to explore your past is a good one. I, for one, would love to read your musings and reminiscences. You may be surprised at what you uncover, and how starting to write about one memory will somehow trigger another.
It's a lovely journey and I do hope you decide to bring us along with you.
