Well, I'm back.

For reasons that still make me grimace and sigh heavily whenever I think about them (more on that later), I have wiped my Tumblr and Twitter of followers and abandoned both sites for the time being.

However, I've kept Messaging open on my old Tumblr and added back all the Twitter people who've DM'd me over the past year, since I do intend to check DM's and Notifications now and then. I just won't be scrolling through my dash or dipping my toes into the Twitterstream every few hours like I used to.

I hope moving back to Dreamwidth/LiveJournal will lead not only to more creative uses of my time and a recovery of my increasingly shallow and scattered ability to concentrate (something that's become more and more of a concern to me over the past couple of years or so) but also some thoughtful and meaningful discussions with the friends and followers I still have.

So who's still out there after all these years? Drop me a comment and say hi, I'd love to hear from you!

WAIT, I forgot I follow you here, too.

Hi there! I'm going to be winding down my own social media usage for a while. My concentration and ability to complete anything has taken a sharp drop in the last year. Can't blame it all on age yet.

[rj_anderson]

Yeah, I'm wondering what effect it will have if I force myself to concentrate on longer articles / pieces of media, instead of constantly jumping from one tweet / post to another. It's got to the point where I find it difficult to focus on reading anything of substance, and I don't like that at all.

Well, hi there! Nice to see you on my reading list again.

Thoughtful and meaningful discussions: Yes, please!

Hello to you too! Thanks for letting me know I still have friends out here. :)
