Saying Goodbye to this journal

I know it's only been a couple of days since I wrote the post about discontinuing this blog and starting a private online journal instead but I think it is something that I want to do.  No one has commented on anything I've posted here for a while so I'm not sure if people (aside from my mother, Dave, and Jamie) are even still reading it.  Honestly, I totally get it if people have decided to stop reading this.  Most of what I write is utter crap and very self centered.  I don't say much that's worth reading so having only three readers makes sense.  What doesn't make sense is continuing to write a public blog that only has three readers especially if there are times that I feel like I can't write about what's on my mind because it's either too personal or about someone else.  

A part of me really just wants to write for myself and then I can do what I used to do when I kept a written journal and show it to people when they ask about what's going on.  Sometimes I do find it easy to communicate in writing rather than talking so it would be easy to just have them read what I wrote rather than try to talk about it.  Sure, it would mean that I would have to excuse myself to the bathroom or try to busy myself doing something while they read it and collected their thoughts but it worked.  With an online journal, I could password protect the entries.  Like Jamie or Alli, instead of posting everyday I would post occasionally.  My friends and family would get the occasional better written post rather than horribly written posts everyday.  

I guess my biggest fear is that people will take it the wrong way but I suppose it is my choice.  It's been a wonderful two years writing here but you can't do something forever and I think it's time to make a change.  I love you all.  Thank you for spending all the time that you already have reading this and I will be posting the new journal link sometime soon.
