Seventeen Years on LJ
Aug. 9th, 2020 07:29 pmToday marks my 17th year journaling on LJ (now cross-posting from Dreamwidth). I initially started the journal to document my first trip overseas for work, which then grew to real blogging once I started making LJ friends with folks, both virtually and in the real world.
It's been a wild ride so far. While I understand why some folks migrated to other social media, the mass exodus was very disappointing as I felt that the new platforms may be more immediate, but they were snippets versus stories.
Why did I stay here? Well, a few months before the masses ran for the lifeboats, I bought a permanent account. Not the best timing, but I also get a lot of storage space for the account, so I kept it.
Additionally, I do like being able to write more and I often go back and re-read what people have posted. While I don't write every day like I used to, I do trying to get a few entries in here.
I don't see me leaving anytime soon and I appreciate everyone who is still roaming the somewhat sparsely-occupied halls of this place! :)
