Hello! I’ve been on this site for a little while now, but mostly keeping to myself…I’m slowly opening up and trying to connect with people, though, so here’s a step in that direction!

Location and language(s):
Originally from the northeast US, but I’ve been living in China for the past four years. This summer I’m moving to my partner’s hometown in Romania. I speak a bit of Romanian, but hopefully a bit more soon.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):

Late 30s

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:

The usual bigotries, conspiracy theories, etc.

You mostly write about:

Teaching (I’m a high school English lit teacher)

Books (mostly literary fiction, essays/autofiction, and “world literature”)

Spiritual stuff (dabblings in tarot and Quakerism)

Current events (not so much US politics, though; mostly the war in Ukraine these days)

Gender stuff

You never or very rarely write about:

Fandom, genre fiction (except the occasional rom-com novel), video games, really heavy personal stuff

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?

Locked

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):

Just about daily

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?

No

What do you enjoy most about journaling?

Understanding myself a little better

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?

Daily

You really enjoy reading about:

Teaching; books people are reading; sweet moments in people’s days

You have very little interest in reading about:

Mostly the same things I rarely write about

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?

I haven’t really had many friends on here, but I think I will unfriend people if it seems like we’re not really interacting with each other’s journals or if I feel like the content they post about isn’t really for me

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?

I’d like to comment more! It feels a little weird, though, to just dip into a person’s life out of nowhere, so I’ll probably be a cautious commenter for a while

Feel free to send me a message if you’re interested in checking out my journal for a bit, and feel free to unsubscribe if you’re not feeling it!
