Strange

It is so strange to be back here.

I used to love it. I got so much comfort from an online community where I could share my life, my hopes and fears and my little crowd of followers were always supportive, always friends. It feels like a bygone era to be able to express yourself without the threat of online trolls or people exposing your identity. I can barely believe that I used to post such intimate parts of my life to an online community with absolutely no fear that I’d be identified in real life. Was it stupid? Was I just young and naive?

I find that I feel far more self conscious about posting now and almost like there is hardly any point when my audience of loyal followers seems not to have returned to this magical little corner of the internet. BUT there are new friends to be made, new stories and characters to explore and I really want to make OD mark 2 a success.

So, how about you? If you’re a returning diarist how do you feel about the new place? And do you think you’ll still expose as much of yourself to the world? Let me know 🙂
