holyscream | a fresh start

A few days ago, I received an email about my remaining LiveJournal account’s anniversary. I never actually posted anything on there, just used it to join communities and comment, but the email did give me the idea of trying out Dreamwidth. I don’t know anyone one here, but I’ve always felt that joining a social media site is actually the most fun when no one there knows you exist.

It’s the joy of having no eyes on you and being able to be totally cringe and free. I would switch from service to service, as I wasn’t old enough to pay for hosting my own website yet, enjoying the freedom until I’d eventually end up with a few regular readers and suddenly feel the pressure to perform a more presentable version of myself.

I had my mainstay socials of course. Animexx and DeviantArt had features I enjoyed, and more importantly, were where all the artists I liked were, and I did make some nice acquaintances on there and enjoyed the culture and community. Then there was Tumblr, where I got my fandom and theming fix, but never interacted besides talking in the tags (my favorite part of Tumblr culture to this day).

I recently stared posting on Tumblr, and I can feel the pressure building up again. Now I am here and looking forward to enjoying some peace and quiet. I’m feeling nostalgic already, just looking at the interface of the post editor, and let me tell you, any website where you can disable comments is a friend of mine, hahaha.

Thanks for reading, and for not reading, too. ☆⌒(ゝ。∂)
