the bumpy road

A VERY long time has passed since I last logged onto LJ. I miss you all. I miss the way friendships were built here and am grateful for the ones that carried over into real life. I could not have survived this past decade (!!) without this once close-knit community and for that I am eternally grateful. With the advent of Facebook and Twitter and other blog platforms, we have all scattered on the winds of change. But I'm hopeful we will continue to connect elsewhere and in real life. I miss you LiveJournal community, but I fear it's time to close the doors here.

In scanning past posts - well, wow! I revealed a lot of personal stuff! Back then, the internet felt smaller, cozier, more private - although I suspect it wasn't true back then, and it certainly isn't true today.

Where to find me these days?

I'll keep this up for a short bit before deleting my account. It feels so....final, and yet, I've not been back here for years. I hope to find you all "out there" - somewhere.
