Wow I'm a human who is still alive!

It's hard to get back into writing in a journal when one hasn't written much, and I've done the "Hey I'm back" thing enough times that it hardly feels like it could be true this time around. But whatever. I want to write. I like DreamWidth. I'm sort of tired of Tumblr, and the endless scroll insanity.

I'm in a very different place in my life now than I was this time last year, and in a good way.

I feel creative again. I feel like I've moved past many of my old hurts, and they've healed and sweetened and quieted. I feel like I'm in a place where I can start taking steps forward. I like all those feelings.

Gonna move forward with them as far as I can.

This all sounds wonderful! I'm happy for you. :D

Thank you Phrenk!

And I would be pleased to receive drabble prompts at any time!

I'm glad you're healing and moving forward! I'm glad to see you back.

[aeslis]

Thank you!

It's not an easy return, admittedly. I went through my flist and over half of it hasn't updated in over a year. I don't know where things are that I want to be involved in, anymore. But I love the concept of DW and want to be here, so! Here I am!

I'm happy you're still here. :)

I never really leave, even though I sometimes go quiet for a period.

Looks like there's some friending stuff going on in the comments of the last couple news posts, what with Tumblr and all, and i'm seeing a lot of long-dormant comms on my reading list dust off, so I'm hopeful!

[aeslis]

I'll go take a look at the news posts, then! Good tip. :)

I'm also looking around for good writing groups. I joined some drabble places. I definitely want to start writing again.

I'm hopeful too. I know a lot of people are looking at Pillowfort as the next big thing, but something about going somewhere ELSE new just sorta sits wrong for me. I wanna be here.

You have such a glowing, positive attitude. You can take on anything!

[aeslis]

Oh that's really sweet of you to say. I like to think so, but you know, life is life with its battles and all that. At least for right now, things are good!

[rinalin]

Lol, I came up with, like, a dozen trite things to say about the power of positive thinking. But nothing really encompasses the whole of what I want to say about life and relationships and mental health and adulting.
