lizziebelleToday is my 6th LJ anniversary. 6 years! Happy anniversary to me. :)
I love the friends and communities I have found here. I've enjoyed getting to know RL friends better here. I like being able to share the highlights (and lowlights) of my life, and how supportive everyone is. I appreciate having a place where I can share my photos, and getting feedback on them. Most of all, I enjoy reading about everyone's triumphs and struggles, and connecting on an emotional level with people I've never even met. You all rock.

Date: 2010-06-03 02:13 pm (UTC)I hear a lot of criticism of online social communities, but I have to say that as a sometimes shy person, the ones I use have helped me to get to know some people better that I see in person occasionally but have sometimes not had the nerve to talk to... and reconnect with old friends who are no longer nearby.
