kmase1021It's been decades since I've found myself partaking in this kind of medium. I had a LiveJournal AND a Xanga, back in my angsty teenage years, and as life barrels forward, I, like all other millennials yearn for the nostalgia of the late 90s early 00s. When I found that Dreamwidth was created from a bunch of ex-LJers, I knew I had to check it out.
I have most social media. Facebook I've had since it was only available for folks who had .edu email addresses. My Facebook's color scheme was cherry and white (Go Owls), and I mainly used it for selling my textbooks once the semester was over. Facebook has grown, and honestly, this year I'm looking to pull the plug on my account, as its become quite the cesspool.
Instagram - while still a Zuck product, I'm still hanging onto it. Mostly because I love the pictures, but I use the IG messenger app for most of my communication outside of texting.
Reddit, Substack, Tiktok (RIP) - but there's been a voice in the back of my head that wants to get my thoughts onto paper. Or in this case, screen. I have numerous Writing Prompt books, and I start out well with them, but I notice that once I put the book down, my brain forgets it exists and before I know it, months if not years have gone by. For 2026, I'd like to see how far I can make it before this corner of the internet becomes laden with cobwebs.
