i miss the 00's and early 10's blogger aesthetic. i miss the weird prose journal entries, the short abstract stories, the photographs on a digital camera with just the right photoshop action that you downloaded for free from outspoken-kate, piecing together the simplest forms of html for your girland, pizco, myspace layout, how that layout and your profile felt like the most perfect pieces of cultivated self. i miss the innocence of the online world being seperate, being right next door. i miss the seperation. i miss the surety of always remaining anonymous, of never seeing your real life friends pop up on livejournal or blogspot. i miss how the pictures were all faded, like a hazy memory although we were blogging what was happening to us right that very second. i miss how they really were like online diaries. i miss jenny lewis rar files and elliott smith zip files and the simplicity of discovering your first fiona apple song. i miss the innocence. i miss the simplicity. i miss the mystery and the honesty. how everybody wove their daily life into a story you wanted to be a part of.
