I am undeniably devastated about the demise of opendiary.com- I am turning 29 on Tuesday and I had had a diary on OD.com since I was 15 years old. There were so very, very many of my years written down on that website. I did download both my diaries, all the thousands of entries, onto my boyfriends computer, where I then transfered them over onto a flash drive- but when attempting to access them this morning, the download was faulted, the entries are all lost, and the years of my life I had saved are all gone...
The sentimentalist in me is absolutely devastated (yes I know I'm repeating myself). The writer in me is just horrified, terribly horrified... at all those years of details and poetry and self-discvoery... my soul feels a gap ... nearly akin to that of losing a loved one... am I being overdramatic? Perhaps. You would just have to have lived as me for a while to understand the passion behind all of it.
I am attempting to use this website, I appreciate the concept and I don't mind the layout and navigation. It is quite similar, but nothing will ever quite replace OD.
