I always try to answer the comments on my journal. Sometimes a few slip through the cracks, but I really love the conversations I have with people in this way, so usually even if I notice the slippage months later, I'll reply.

But several weeks ago I made a post about the Hunger Games books, and lots of people commented, and I have not replied. I'm not sure what exactly is going on with me, but I somehow drastically underestimated both the strength and the nature of my feelings about the subject, and even thinking about going back and looking at that post or reading any comments gives me massive anxiety feelings. I thought I would be fine after some space and self-analysis, but apparently not so much. So this is me apologizing for seemingly ignoring all of you who commented, and giving myself permission to walk away.
