The problem with most of us in Livejournal is we depended too much on each other. We made interesting entries because we expected to read interesting entries. We wrote drama because people liked it, aside from the truth that we liked to dwell in our own drama, and that for some weird reason Livejournal is conducive to writing drama (I would deduce that this is force of habit). When people got busy or got tired of the so-popular-it-deserved-its-own-term LJ drama or moved on to Tumblr, we started to speculate that Livejournal is dead. No. Michael Jackson is dead. A chick from the original Charlie's Angels is dead. Elvis is dead, or maybe alive and somewhere in Roswell, but Livejournal isn't dead. Because I'm still here, writing whatever or crossposting whatever, and you're still here reading. Something doesn't have to die because people, new social media or the organic flow of events dictated it.

Of course, I am not spewing ill will toward anyone who decides to quit Livejournal. I'm way mature than that, noh, and you can do whatever it is you desire. I'm just saying maybe this place can be great again and we can start achieving that by writing again.
