the weak flesh

pretty days šŸ‘

i'm noticing more people using bearblog recently! i was always too nervous to make posts back when i first found it a few years ago, but i've made a lot of progress with my socialization since then, i think. needless to say, this is a new account, but... i'm happy to share this little place with faces i recognize in other circles.

i anticipate some other part of my head getting overzealous and deleting all of our posts sometime, but the ultimate goal of this is to be open - to have a faceless place of faces, closed and comfortable, at the same time basking in the broad daylight. no excessive proofreading, no self-filtering, no algorithm to cater to; just thoughts and days that i want to save and look back on.

anyway, where have i been? my last post was a bit strange. i'm still in that state to some degree, but there's more clarity with the familiarity, i guess? or maybe i'm just feeling a little better! i've been at work as hard as i can for classes; i've had some wonderful times with my boyfriend, and pleasant conversations with new faces; i've watched some interesting migrations around askbox sites. i also noticed that my fears of emailing are very much diminished lately... thank you, frontal lobe...

i'm thinking about sharing the link to this place in some of my pages, but i'm not really sure yet... i have concerns that it might defeat the whole purpose, even if i am quite recognizable as-is. i'll mull it over.

there was beautiful fog today, and a very faintly pink sky. mornings are horrible for me to get started in, but sights like that make it manageable.
