I was just trying to remember why I stopped writing in my OD diary. And a few things flooded back to me.
The whole site got a weird face lift that I didn't adjust to. I know it was like 2 or 3 years ago, but whatever. I didn't like it.
I think the other thing (though I hate to admit it) is that probably 90% of my faves were people who I had a lot in common with as far as where we were in our lives. There were those people who I didn't really have anything in common with and I still loved reading. There were people who I lurked who just seemed to have fascinating lives. But mainly, it was people like me...girls with pets and boyfriends/husbands or dating around, just figuring stuff out.
But then everyone was finished with school and married and having babies and I guess I lost interest. It's not so much the "married and done with school" thing as it is the "babies" thing. Some "parent" diaries are fascinating. Really though, until I have one, or even want one, most "parent" diaries me feel stagnant and destined to be old and childless.
So there's that. I want kids some day...maybe. But I don't want any right now, and when I see that almost all of the people who were in the same life situation as me 8 years ago have toddlers now, I feel like, "Whoa...I missed the boat"...or something.
Of course, I had a bunch of faves who had kids before I started reading them and I loved reading them and still do. That is different. I don't know why. I don't really care actually. It just is.
I want to write more. I need to research how private I need to be when I write here. Google is a nasty mofo.
