Wanting to write

[darkfyre_muse]

So I've been wanting to start posting here again for about a week but just couldn't figure out what to say. (I used to do this all the time, really it can't be that hard.) So this led me to spend several hours this weekend reading through my archive. This wasn't just effective at getting the wheels rolling again but it was also surprisingly enjoyable. I can't quite quantify it in words but the is something so much more pleasurable in DW/LJ interactions than what I get on FB. (Very possibly the people but I don't think it's just that as many of my LJ contacts are also on FB.) But I got reminded of people I haven't seen/talked to in ages, of art that I had forgotten, of the inherently comfy nature of this space.

Hear, hear. I appreciate FB's "on this day" Memories function, but I get a lot more enjoyment and insight out of a random trawl through my journal.

Also, hi! <3

Hi!
Also I think there is just a more conversational atmosphere on old-school social media. I am hoping to rekindle the habit of actually writing about my life instead of just commenting on it.

It's kind of quiet around here, but it's definitely a safer/more pleasant space than Facebook. Welcome back!
