I have just deleted the following entry from my LiveJournal page. I don't
want to have two separate journals; I don't have a project or a volume of
writing or photographic work I need to shelve elsewhere and I don't have any
secrets I want to share with only a fwe people. To split a journal other that
feels to me like dividing up my life or my persona and I can't imagine any good
coming of it. It feels like it would be untrue to myself. (None of this is meant
to be a reflection on anyone else; there are people I respect who have as many as
four journals and they have good reasons of their own. This is just about me.)
And so I've deleted the entry I wrote there, leaving up only a
description of myself pointing a casual reader here for more details. I'm not
saying I'll never move from here; I can imagine wanting my own domain someday,
though right now this is more convenient. And I'm not saying I'll never split this
page, just that right now I can't imagine why I would.
However, I did
capture some thoughts about my current fuzzy state and about possible overtraining
that I wanted to save, so the erased entry is below.
