scottishscreamqueenIt's my 43rd birthday today, which seems like a suitable day for the first birthday of my new journal.
I don't really know why I have a new journal. I have no regrets about deleting the old ones — I can't imagine ever wanting to revisit them. They mostly document other lifetimes that seem vaguely alien to me now. The past is another country, and it's one that I've spent enough time in and won't be going back to. My visa for those shores is permanently expired.
But, these past few days I've felt absolutely obsessed with the idea of posting journal entries. The words go round and round my head and I want to share them. As I settle into what I guess I'm calling Arwen 3.0, I miss this outlet and I miss the people I shared my life with here.
So hi. Again. I don't know where this is going, but let's find out, I guess?

Date: 2019-12-24 12:03 pm (UTC)I am glad to see you here.
I often find myself half way between Facebook (one liners and memes) and Live Journal which is more reflective.
Friend me please...I only have two...and three friends would make me extremely social.

Date: 2019-12-24 05:39 pm (UTC)still here, always here, too navel gazey to leave...! I don't even read my FB feed anymore, so honestly I have a better chance of keeping up with FB friends instead of FB friends 🤷♂️

Date: 2019-12-27 02:22 pm (UTC)I tried to get more into FB but it's not very user friendly these days and I don't feel comfortable sharing a lot. Hopefully I can stick at journalling this time because I really did miss it.
