This journal is a little weirder on Weasyl since the site doesn't allow disabling of comments, but I decided I'd post it here anyway for the sake of consistency across my galleries.

When I posted those the last couple days, I was already having so much trouble getting them out there in the first place that I didn’t want to even deal with what people might say. I just wanted them to be seen and known, and I didn’t want to have to read comments, come up with responses, or risk seeing bad comments. It was already hard enough to post those in the first place, so I didn’t want to make it even harder.

Though it was the right thing to do for myself by disabling the comments at the time, and I also didn’t want people to feel pressured that they had to respond, I realized it was probably unfair of me to say such heavy things and not allow responses at all. And selfishly, when the goal was for as many people to see the journals as possible, I realized that disabling comments was actually doing myself a disservice. Without comments, I had very little concept of how many people were actually seeing, reading, and understanding what I had said (since view count alone doesn’t tell the whole story).

So, I know that now making a whole separate journal will be less effective than if comments had been open to begin with, and I will not be surprised if that means they still get no comments, but if there’s anything anyone still wanted to say, please feel free to do so, either there or in private if you would be more comfortable. I apologize in advance if I may not reply, but I promise I am reading them.
