Trying To Keep On Going
Okay this is only my third entry and I am just not feeling this whole thing. I miss JLand. I am still upset about the banners/ads. Someone found a way to hide or eliminate the banners or something. It seems to me that in times like this you will really tell who your friends are. I figure that your friends will really try their best to keep in touch with you. So many ppl. in JLand began making lists to keep track of where everyone was going. *sidenote: it seems like I can't hit the enter button to make another paragraph so this freakin entry has to be on long statement* I read a comment the other day that a JLander who I consider a nice person wrote. She said that she is just laughing at us. Especially the ones that think that they are sticking it to AOL because they leave their journals. Honestly my feelings were hurt and I was outraged. She went on to say how sick of our journals she was. How she was about ready to delete all her alerts. My response to that ERASE MINE AND QUICKLY. If this is the type of things you are thinking when the alert comes then you shouldn't read the journals and we definitely shouldn't read yours because it seems to me that when I read other ppls. journal I am really interested in what they have to say. What is going on with them. The JLander also said that if we don't have friends offline we are pathetic (or something to that nature). My mouth hit the floor. Let me tell you for some online and JLand is all they have. Not because they are pathetic but because JLand has been there for them through hard times. Because they have grown to know JLand outside of online. It is so sad that we have JLanders who are so mean. I would like to believe that I try to be accepting of everyone. It is not my place to put a label on someone because they have friends online. That ain't my business or my place. I like those who like me. And for this JLander to talk about the whole community when I know for a fact we have left many nice comments and concerned comments on her journal is worse than stabbing someone in the back. We are all entitled to our opinions so I won't say that what she said was wrong because it was her opinion. But these are my feelings. I love JLand and if I am the only friend someone has then I am privilaged that you picked me. Thank You.

Well, I'll still be reading your journal, and even though I decided to stay with AOL, I hope you continue to read mine.

I saw this same comment and the comments of a few other people who cannot wait for everybody to get out of the way so that they can have the room.
I have been incredibly saddened to think that a choice that I made that felt right to me should be the cause for someone else's enjoyment.
It is amazing sometimes how you learn just who your friends are. I am so lucky to be included in the circle of people who love me.
Don't let this get you down.... we know some pretty amazing people.

There will, unfortunately, always be small people who do not live their life in a way so that they are a positive force. Don't waste energy on that person. What's most important at the end of the day is that you have walked the path you know is right for you. That's the easiest way to sleep at night. Don't compromise your integrity even if others find its easy from them to do.
Peace, Virginia

Hi Amy, I'm making the rounds of the relocated blogs, and yours is near the top of the list. I have the list of all those who migrated on my blog, and at the bottom is a feed to get the list, html included so you could add it to your own blog if you wanted to. Ayn put this list together for us.
I hope you are doing ok, you haven't posted in a while. You have a lot going on by the looks of things. Give up the smokes and take care of yourself. Your family deserves a healthy you. I hope things work out with you and your husband. I am holding you in my prayers.
Blessings,
Auntie Lyn
