It's so hard to let go of LJ because it means admitting that it's over and that "the good 'ol days" will never come back. It's about admitting something is gone, even though it's been gone for years. That's hard!

You're not the only person who has mentioned something like "confident silliness" being something that they've lost. Looking back at old journal entries, I see someone who was much more confident about being silly and about posting anything. But I don't think it's something that's gone (the way Old LJ is gone, I mean). WE CAN RECLAIM OUR SILLINESS! Honestly, I hope people do. It's hard to take ourselves so seriously all the time.

What is next, C? That's something we all sometimes need to figure out.
