BioAh, the decision to start keeping a journal...
I had a very loose misconception that writing a diary (or journal as it is called when you "grow up") was something twelve-year-old girls did to keep track of their daily secret crushes. Who passed a note to whom and who's meeting out back after school to steal a kiss...
Well, after taking some serious inventory on myself, I had to throw THAT idea right out the window.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The idea that keeping a notebook, or collection of written thoughts about events in my life including feelings, opinions, beliefs, hopes, fears, reflections, etc. (lots of fears)- is a scary one. But in a GOOD way. I suppose that putting things down in a tangible format, is to claim them, for me anyway.
I guess what I hope to achieve here is a preservation of my identity, a window into my soul. Hopefully, everything that comes to mind, things that have shaped who I am as a person will be recorded for posterity; I want to save these precious moments of my life so that I can always remember them.
Maybe take a seat in the rest stop for a while - carving out a little time from the ravages of time and oblivion.
So off I go - and I have butterflies in my stomach already.
