When you were a kid, did you ever shade a piece of paper in every color of crayon you had, then cover it in a layer of black so you could carve in cool designs that would appear in a multitude of colors? That's how I feel now, the top layer peeling away and colors showing through in the shape of a still-to-be-defined me.
I’ve been keeping an online diary in one form or another since 1998. I’ve had the domain chasethestars.com since 2002. The archive in its current iteration here goes back to 2009.
Sometimes I’m not sure why I do this, sometimes it feels like a chore. Maybe it’s OCD that I want to document every event of my life, but do I really need to keep it all in one place? Most Tumblrs I’ve seen are specific - either in subject or medium or both.
I’ve been thinking about making a new one, of just stacey in sketches-type posts, and keeping photos to Facebook only. Take away the personal details, have it more generic and relatable like my writing back in the old LiveJournal days.
And then other times, I do want to have everything in one place for completeness. I don’t know. What do you think?
