Mixed Feelings
What do I mean by that?
Well, I was so happy to find that Open Diary was still around. I’d made a lot of ‘friends’ through the previous OD. Some of which have endured through Facebook. One of them I actually met and spent time with her and her family when I was training to be a nurse. She was also a nurse and got me the opportunity to spend 3 fantastic weeks at the OSU hospital ED, and put me up in her home, treating me to Ohio hospitality and fun around Halloween. That’s a memory I shall cherish forever.
On the downside, I have only found one of my previous contacts in this ‘new’ OpenDiary. I have let some know that this is here, but they seem to be either not bothered about re-kindling the community we had here or are sticking to Prosebox. I have an account there too, but can’t remember the last time I wrote anything there.
I guess I was hoping to find the same sort of contact that I had experienced previously, but it doesn’t seem to be happening. So will I be continuing with this diary? I don’t know is the honest answer. I shall give it more time, I won’t give up just yet. If nothing else it gives me something else to do rather than just sit in front of my Playstation all day!

I’m finding it is different too. I think it is because when we were all on OD years ago, the whole internet was different, so we were different. It was easier to make friends because we hadn’t gone through the scam/spammer age and social media bombardment. I think after being around so many other social media platforms, including FB and Youtube, people are just overwhelmed by social media and OD isn’t the exciting place to be that it once was. The original was before youtube and Fb even existed. OD has stayed the same. We have all changed sadly.
