If you can make it there
Jan. 25th, 2025 09:25 pmOne of my crazy desires is to organize the internet. Since that's impossible, another one is to organize my presence and interaction with the internet. Which is also considerably impossible nowadays, but unfortunately, I can't give up on this one - recently, I understood that it's probably due to cognitive rigidity.

And in this endeavor or obsession, while looking for a site to start writing again, with my archaeological talent, I "discovered" in 2025 that there is an old blogging service called Live Journal, which once had an active community but experienced a real exodus around 2012, after being acquired by a Russian company and changing its terms of service to comply with local legislation - which is much more conservative than Western standards, to say the least. Well, but since my mind is as archaeological as it is forgetful, I also "discovered" that I still had a profile there on Live Journal and, after learning this whole story, I became very interested in deleting it.
Of course I went to check what was there and of course I couldn't delete anything without first organizing and ensuring everything had a new place. And this post also serves for me to feel comfortable deleting... just the first post from there! Yes, this is my pace and my anxiety, which I'm laughing about right now so that despair doesn't overtake me. A long journey is more pleasant if it's gentle.
For some time now, I've been trying to be gentler with myself, and since the diagnosis, I've been seeking to intensify this. It's a process of acceptance. And of accepting and caring for that child who couldn't be seen and didn't feel safe. It's the work of a lifetime, and I'm grateful to be living and have the opportunity for this healing.
The infamous post brought me more memories of New York with a collection of photos I took in the Big Apple and that I'm sharing here too, with Instagram filters and everything: a reminder of when Instagram was a pleasant photography network.
