freak1c and I looked over our LiveJournals for anything we wouldn't want to be made public, with our names attached. We're moving more and more into the public eye -- especially with a high-profile event happening tomorrow night -- so even though my IRL name isn't publicly associated with this journal, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.
I spent the evening making an LJBook of my journal. I planned to then make the entire journal friends-only, but after reading over the public entries here, I'm overcome with pride and delight at how elegantly I've logged my journey for the past five years. There are some hilarious posts I don't remember writing. There are some raw emotional posts that are so honest, I need never be ashamed or worried about sharing them. And mostly, these entries are little sign-posts that I put up along the way, just so I could remember the tiny experiences of my life. I'm damn proud of that. This journal has served me well, and I have served myself well by using it so lovingly.
So, I leave the public entries public, and I head to bed with deep gratitude for all the hours I've spent on this website, spilling my thoughts, connecting with strangers who have turned into friends, and digesting my experiences so I can keep having more and more and more.
Hopefully, someday soon, I'll be back here with the same kind of beautiful words I had in the past. Until then, be well.
