seriously?
“You know I am almost 40 and I still use the hearts in my name. Do you know why? Because age doesn’t define who I am in my heart and hearts represent love. <3"
Are you… are you serious? Apparently age really doesn’t define who you are if you actually still think you need hearts everywhere to represent love. I’m all about freedom of expression… and therefore I’m allowed to say and think the following:
The use of hearts as a title and/or part of your diary name is quite simply cliche. A heart is not interesting, a heart is not a unique description or new way of representing something. A heart is childish and, in my opinion, slightly shallow. Having a heart (now we’re talking about the graphic one, not the word “heart”) in your name is a little like having a description of “my life sucks” or the name “~~princess*anything*here~~”. This tells me NOTHING! Do you have any idea how many people have that same effing name? Do you know how often an effing heart is used in a title or name or god knows what? Are you serious?!?! (and do you really expect me to take you seriously?)
I think it’s interesting that people use their age to get defensive. “My age doesn’t define me.” Totally agree… my age certainly does not define me either. So let me rephrase: no one should have hearts in their name/title/description whatever. But writers above the age of 18 should at least realize this. I’m not going to blame a 13-year-old for doing it – hell I was “dreamergrrl” for awhile – but that doesn’t mean I think they should have hearts in their name. I’m giving them the ignorance opt-out benefit of the doubt. But You, my dear 39-year-old, should know by now that an effing heart does not define you either.
Now, let me again put my little disclaimer up lest someone stumble upon this entry and start a mass-riot of hate notes: Just because this is what I think doesn’t mean that you have to listen to it or abide by it or whatnot. You have every right to have a heart in your name/title/description. I just want you to know that I think it’s ridiculous.
(indecision)
eheh, I totally agree. Although for me I think my age doesn’t define me, cause my brain stopped at 16 :p

eh, I used the ♥ in my diary name because OD doesn’t give enough space in a note. so to save space from putting “Love, [my diary name]” as a closure, I just had my little ♥ . Sorry you don’t like them, but to each their own. I think they’re cute. [Mama Mids] (again, too lazy to sign back in.)
