A tarot reader by day and night, here's where I post my thoughts on tarot and readings.

Why I Moved To Dreamwidth

I am selfish--or, I am looking out for my best interest. I have started many blogs through Wordpress, Weebly, and Squarespace through the years. I would spend days working on the back end and never post more than twice on the front end. It was a waste of my time and, in some cases, money. But I have been blogging consistently since I was 11 years old on Livejournal, so I knew it was time for me to return to my original home.

I need simplicity. I don’t want to focus on SEO. I don’t want to obsessively refresh my analytics page 100 times a day watching the count slowly go up. Worse, I don’t want to ruin my day when the number stagnates. I want to post my thoughts and move on. I want to enjoy talking about tarot again.

I want community again. This may be completely nostalgia (see above) but Livejournal was the place I felt connected to people. Entire discussions would happen in comment threads. Communities were built around shared interests. Today it feels like I am shouting into the void whenever I post something. By moving to Dreamwidth, I hope people will feel inspired to chat in my posts. I have anonymous commenting turns on which means you don’t even need a Dreamwidth account to comment! Please come be friends with me. (Don’t be a dick and abuse the power of anonymous.)

I hope whoever finds their way over here understands and even enjoys it.
