Dear Sera, congrats on your follower count and I hope that winter treats you nicely:) I feel sad about the way things are with J2 lately and I miss your posts, but I want to believe that it's just this stupid smoke and mirrors mode and the guys are doing fine. As much as they can be fine in this situation. The connection they have is a rare and beautiful thing, it's sad how the world we live in twists things sometimes. Anyway, have a lovely weekend :)
I know what you mean. The cons are still excellent, but everything else seems to have been taken away. As my dear friend @jdumblr has repeatedly pointed out, PR seems to be erasing history and “fixing” the mistakes us hats have pointed out. My solution to that has been that I’ve stopped pointing out inconsistencies out loud and stepped back to merely observe what’s happening.
I’m sure they have their reasons for doing this, but it sure is a bitter pill to swallow. If it’s like that for me, for us, I can’t even imagine how terrible it is for them to be shackled this way once more. I only hope they are getting their end of the deal for going through such extreme measures of appearing as “just friends” (if even THAT, let’s be real). That said, I believe they’re as tight as ever, it’s all just hidden behind the iron curtain.
As much as I feel bad for them, I can’t let their lives affect me on a personal level, so I’m doing other things now. Learning Russian, running a music blog, playing World of Warcraft, thinking about starting doing some lyric translating for a website… Inactivity on this blog always means activity on another front of my life. ;) One shouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket, you know?
I only hope they would give us some reason to hope for a better future for them, but right now? Things are indeed smoke and mirrors, and the fog seems impenetrable at times. There’s a point where one stops fighting the windmill, and either finds something else to do or turns bitter. I chose to do something else. I’m very sorry to hear you miss my posts! I hope you understand. I’m still a huge fan, I’m still up to date, I still love them, and I’m still here. I just don’t know what’s worth posting about anymore. Thank you for the lovely words, sweet anon! I hope your week starts out well. :)
