Howdy! I'm a 34-year-old girl person from the Great White North. Former hopeless romantic, now functional hermit. A kid at heart yet an old soul.

I enjoy literature, philosophy, art in all its forms, and the healing beauty of nature.

I have a lifelong struggle with debilitating anxiety as well as a history of trauma and depression, so be forewarned that I'm of a rather melancholy disposition.

My journal entries tend to be reflective and deeply personal rather than a simple chronicle of everything I did from day to day. I also like to talk about my interests and (often dysfunctional) interpersonal relationships.

I'd like to meet like-minded people with whom I could form lasting friendships with. If you think we'd click, feel free to leave a comment and add me.

Hello!
My history of using livejournal is rather old. (I guess I am especially impressed by some kind of the anonymity of the live journal, unlike other social networks). It all started with the fact that I wanted to discuss with someone Orhan Pamuk's Black Book, which I read in 2005, and I found a post on the Internet in someone's LiveJournal about this topic. I had to register in LJ to write a comment. Then my old LJ actively existed until 2008.
Of course, I mostly belong to the Russian language space with our untranslatable puns, our memes and so on, but over the past year I have made some good friends with the help of the Interpals website, and I am used to writing posts for them in English using a google translator.
In general, most likely, I will write some of the posts in English. And I would like to receive some kind of response to my posts.
Besides some my activity in LJ in English lately is related to the fact that I have written and promote my book on Amazon - if you are interested, you can read the details about this in my LJ blog.

Hello community! I'm a 32-year-old girl person in search of kindred spirits to befriend. I'd describe myself as a chronic daydreamer, an incorrigible romantic and eternal kid at heart. I never grew out of make believe; I'm a believer of magic. My interests are sundry and manifold. I love books of all kinds, with a special penchant for classic romance (think Jane Austen and the Brontës), and at other times still find myself picking up old children's books. You could say I'm a nostalgic, sentimental creature, prone to feelings of wistfulness and whimsy. My music taste is likewise diverse but I was recently going through a phase of 80s alternative, 90s grunge, riot grrls, and Lana Del Rey. I'm dying to meet people who still understand the magic of Francesca Lia Block books or Sofia Coppola films, or early Tim Burton, or any of my other interests really!

I lead a very solitary lifestyle so my days are far from exciting, and my journal is thus oriented towards more reflective content. I do like to use my journal as a vehicle for self-exploration and growth. I'm a late bloomer in life as I have a history of mental illness, including anxiety, depression and c-ptsd, so I often feel a bit lost. It might be nice to meet people who understand such struggles.

If any of this sounds interesting to you and you'd like to give this friendship thing a try, please just leave a comment here or on my journal and I'll get back to you shortly. Thanks for reading! ♥

Are you fed-up with sites like Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

LiveJournal is already getting busier than it's been for many years. Let's see if we can persuade our old friends to return and bump the activity-level up a bit further!
