Diaries

I've been keeping a journal since I was around eleven.

I destroyed quite a few of them because at several points in my life, I felt like it would kill me if anyone got ahold of them. A journal I had not even three years ago was held as blackmail. I think that's when I destroyed everything and started from scratch. However, I find myself re-writing those same events in my life in a different light. It seems lately I care not. I find it amusing how that works.

It seems the only place I can really figure things out for myself. I have to write my thoughts on paper to make issues in my life make sense. Maybe I'm just weird like that. But I guess it's not all just that; lyrics, poems, articles, rants, praises. Anything I've found relatively important that I've ever written tends to come from a journal.

I'm about ready to quit again, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
