Honestly, part of the reason why I don't post much lately is that I really struggle with feeling like there's anything worth posting. I do realize how stupid that is considering how little is on LJ right now; probably any post is better than no post at all. However, with work and the money stuff, I haven't really been doing anything interesting enough to really talk about. Or, so it seems, at least.
The other part, as dumb as it may be, is that if I post, I know that folks will leave comments. My time is so tight lately that I feel bad if I don't get back to all the comments, which increases the amount of time on LJ, and makes it so that I don't want to post.
Stupid. Yeah, I know.
Lately I've just really struggled with looking back on my day and thinking "you know, in 30 years, I'm really going to want to remember this," or "you know, my friends would really want to hear about this..." I know both are dumb.
Although, you know, now I think about it, another big factor is the fact that I can't really use LJ at work. I used to be _way_ more active when I could get to it from work. Now I have to wait until I get home, and I'm rarely on the computer much at home now. Maybe I need to get in the habit of writing a post, emailing it to myself, and then posting it when I get home.
