So I didn’t make the move to prosebox right after OD closed and as a result I’m pretty sure I lost almost all of the people I followed there. Its a damn shame. Those connections were ten years in the making and those people probably knew me better than anyone in my real life did. Granted, to be fair, I left OD a long time before OD left all of us. I started dating someone I met on the site and moved half way across the country to be with him and after things started going badly OD just didn’t feel like a safe place to discuss those things so anymore. I didn’t feel right venting about him there because he would see it but hiding it specifically from him felt wrong so I avoided it altogether. Then when that eventually went kaput I had fallen out of the habit of writing and just never found the rhythm for it again. So when OD fell and everyone was bailing for prosebox I jotted down names and then lost them.
I miss having a judgment free zone to write stuff down and process it. So much has changed in the 4 years since I truly left OD. Most notably? I’m getting married next year. I figured, if nothing else, I’ll want some where that I can scream and vent privately through the headache that is wedding planning. Because the movies make it seem fun. And its not. Its expensive as FUCK. And its so stressful. It seems the mere mention that an item may be used for a wedding increases the price tenfold. And its stupid. Because we are paying for this ourselves. But enough for now. Things to do, places to be and all that jazz.
