Blogger vs D-X
The reason why I left Blogger two years ago was because of the annoying, huge banner that hung over my blog. During my time at Diary-X, I realised how much more it gave me in terms of confidentiality; I could password-lock specific entries, or even the whole journal (which I have since done).
But I suppose it was always a cop-out. Life, I have realised, is more like Blogger than it is D-X. You make choices, and sometimes, you can't take back the wrong ones. Like how Blogger insists on keeping all of my archives, despite my attempts to delete them.
It was wrong to think that it was okay to have a place to anonymously vent my frustrations so that I wouldn't take them out on others. Anger does not diminish that way; that's how it breeds. It was a bad way to learn self-control.
Now the banner is gone, and it feels like the sky has cleared. We'll see how this goes. If it goes wrong, I can't take it back; maybe it's time for me to learn to think before saying or writing things that I would want to take back.
