Current Mood: bitter

(no subject)

So, can you tell me why am I keeping this frigging journal at all?

Ah, yes - to keep in touch with people.[/sarcasm]

Edit:
In case someone might look for the recent two entries - I've deleted them. This journal was in serious danger of becoming a memorial of my general bitterness and disappointment, and I don't want that to happen. That's why I eventually burned all my hand-written journals... I'd like to avoid walking into the same trap again.

I think it is keeping you in touch with people, because people read even if they don't comment - I know I often don't comment on posts because I can't think of anything useful to say (and it's the kind of post for which a two-word comment isn't appropriate).

Oh, don't worry - it's not your fault that I'm apparently not compatible.

the_wild_iris, I'm reading, even if I can't think of anything to say that would be helpful.

The truth is, it often doesn't need to be smart or helpful or whatnot. :)

Bad day? *hugs*

An ungodly long row of bad days, actually. Despite my recent virtual birthday party.

*more hugs*

Thanks. *icon love!*

I wish I would be any good with icons. Then I wouldn't need to bother poor

archet all the time. Or you. I still love the space icons you made me. Use them all the time.

Often I just don't know how I could help and platitudes don't help much. But I would hate to see you leave *good long hug*

:/ *hugs*

Thanks. :)

I'm sorry. I wish I knew what more to say.

Oh, being there is usually enough, you know. I don't take isolation well.

I'm sorry that I hadn't managed to comment yet on your post about friends. I'm sorry for whatever has happened there. I hope that it's not as bad as it seems.

One of the problems with this place is that it's easy to equate silence with absence. There are people I care about greatly who rarely comment, but I know that they're reading, and I keep on writing knowing that. I don't fool myself that the fact that *I'm* reading your journal will have any great meaning, but I know that others are reading, and that they care.

(Sorry for the two near-identical comments: LJ told me that it hadn't posted the first attempt, so I rewrote it. Except that it *had* posted it. Hmmph)

LJ has its moments lately. *shakes head*

Tag another one for the read, empathised, but was too flaky to find something useful to say. (One problem with LJ is that it's a (semi-)public forum, which makes sharing similar experiences when our f'lists overlap so much rather dodgy.)

What some of the others wrote. I didn't know how to react without sounding lame and/or overbearing. But I did read your posts and hope to do so in the future, too!

What's wrong with lame and/or overbearing? *g*

I think it's obvious a lot more people are reading your posts than you realize.

I'm reading too. As a pathetically up-tight person I generally find commenting quite hard and often don't know what to say – but I do read.

Sorry, I don't know any wise and useful to say. You're *wise*heart, I'm just Earonn. ;)
All I can say/do is this:
*hug*

Not so "wise", really - I just picked up the name after Andreth because Soledad was already taken...
