A Long Tradition Of Love, Dying
As LiveJournal fades, I still miss certain traditions. Namely, the love posts.
It’s a sweet habit that I’ve seen others do, but Shadowwolf13 does the most often – someone starts a post that says, “Start a thread for people to say nice things about someone else on LiveJournal, and I’ll maintain the threads so someone can come here and see all the compliments left for them.”
The maintaining is a pain in the butt. You have to constantly redo the post to list all of the people, and folks start multiple threads for the same person, and it really is a lot of overhead. But it’s a way of making people feel better on a holiday, and it’s a tradition unique to LJ as far as I know, and I feel bad because once the English side of LJ goes, it will be no more.
So she’s put a new Love Thread up today, and I’ve already left threads for my sweeties, who really deserve some awesome love always. Shadowwolf is a patient wonder for doing this, and this year seems light on love, so please – if you’re still on LJ, I encourage you to go leave love for someone and put breadcrumbs so others can find it.
A little love this season is never a bad thing.
