Welcome, everyone!
Sep. 20th, 2017 09:11 pmI would like to welcome all the new readers to my humble abode, here on DW. I had been an LJ user for several years, then social media happened. Then my LJ just fell to the wayside.
It's been kind of odd, coming back to a journaling platform. FB and Twitter have kind of broken me (all of us, imo). It gets you into the habit of scan n scroll reading. And after several years of that, you're just conditioned. Just absorption, really. No processing, just learned responses of clicking a like button or quickly applying an emoji.
Here, I feel I need to slow down. Here, I don't have to know EVERYTHING that's going on in the world. Read. Take your time.
You move too fast..
You got to make your morning last...
See? Wasn't that fun? A bite-sized piece of whimsy.
So this is me. Slowing down my brain.
