OK ... so um. Heh.

So I'm going to leave this diary for good, soon, I think. I'm pretty sure. Yes.

I've really, really appreciated having this outlet for ... I don't know how long it's been ... maybe a year and a half. I really, really needed it. It got me through some rough times (just barely), and it made me realize many things about myself along the way.

Here's the thing though. It's not helping me out anymore. I can't write the way I used to ... part of it is having so many readers (or at least a silly list that claims I have so many readers ... who knows how many of them just never bothered to fix up their buddy lists). Another reason is that it's .. the same thing I've been writing in for a year and a half. I guess I've just .. run out of things to say, at least in this particular diary. I feel like I established some sort of writing style .. some kind of .. expectation ... I just don't feel like I'm writing for me anymore, which is odd, because my entries aren't even good now. You'd think they would be if it was other people I was trying to impress. Go figure.

I plan to keep writing, I'm just not sure where I'll do it, or what sort of writing it will be. I'm not ready to close this diary just yet, because I want to let people know if and when I plan to start some webpage or some other online journal or what have you. I have no idea what direction I'll take yet. I'm not sure if I'll want a bunch of people to know about it, or if I'll want to keep it private. I'll figure it out though.

In the meantime, I won't stop reading anyone else's diaries, and I'll keep in touch.

I'll be back in a bit. No, I will.

Thanks. It's been great.

That sounded sarcastic, but it wasn't.

Love,

The Tomato
