I found out tonight that Open Diary, formerly Free Open Diary, shut down last year. I was pretty crushed to discover this. I started writing in that thing sometime around grade 11 - around 2001, 2002. I stopped writing in it on the regular a few years later, but I did check in once in a while. There was over a decade of memories, good and bad, mundane and interesting, in that thing. It was fun, if a little cringey, to go back and re-read the things I thought were important when I was 17, and I’m sad it’s gone.
The worst part is that it’s been over a year since Open Diary shut down! How did I miss that?
So I do what I always do when something ends - I’m starting over. A new decade of my life, a new site. It’s not quite the same, but I guess that’s what starting over is.
