To make another procrastinating semi-vent post, I really do need to learn to be more comfortable doing whatever I want. I'd gotten it into my head, somehow, that I could only write long-form, effort-y posts on here, for no reason other than that appeared to be the standard of posting on this specific site. Need to kill that evil voice in my head that makes up strictly set rules where they do not exist. Most people's diary entries aren't necessarily several pages long, I have no idea why I'd expect mine to be!

Dreamwidth is what you make it! It's worth mentioning you only see what others want you to see too. The current culture seems to be mostly sharing longer posts, but behind access-locked doors everyone could be treating this place like it's for microblogging. If you want to learn to love this site, you'll do so by using it the way that will make you happiest. That's what I think.

Yeah, I'll remember to keep that in mind! It must show from my posting that I do get a bit anxious about how I present myself online, which is something I'm hoping being on here more (once the time frees up for it...) will help curb. My first impressions of this site have already been incredibly favourable, and it's been a pleasure to be here at all!
