Im just wondering who here keeps journals. I started keeping my journals just last year. I'd always write letters and stuff in a book before i actually did my final copy but then i threw the book out. Since i was a kid i always used to write out my problems on pieces of paper but then through em out. I still have some of my childhood diaries and journals but i officially started keeping a proper journal last year. The only time i can truly express my emotions and my thoughts is in my wrirting. That's why i write so many letters to friends and what not. It's like once it's written, it's off my mind and archived.
I may not write in it every day, or sometimes i may not write for weeks, but whenever i do need to write i've got it by me and i just write. Sometimes i may write about the events that are happening in my life, sometimes i may write my opinion on a particular topic, or an idea i have, an idea for a movie, poetry, a business idea, a letter to somebody, anything. I do regret not keeping my older writings because it could clear up alot of things that are running through my head at the moment. I tend not to read what i've written because then i analyse. But if i do read it again, i'll write about my new thoughts on the same topic.
I've written stories, everything. For a while i expected an audience in my writing which caused me to censor alot that i said. When you expect someone else to read it, you don't say alot of things because there are things that you want to hide, but i've gotten over that and now i'm writing for myself. My audience is me, though i'd want my close friends and family to read it someday. Some have and love my train of thought.
Like my most recent entry was about the mind, time and individuals. How the mind analyses everything. I then sidetrack onto time and how we're living only now, and everything becomes a memory, and the shit that is coming is only going to have the same destiny (i go into great detail). Then i talk about the ripple effect and how everything i do will effect everything that happens in the future somehow. And how we're all caught in the waves of everyone else's doings. Thus getting rid of the random and chance factor and that nothing is mutually exclusive. (that's pretty much a shortened version of it all).
Anyway back on topic, who else keeps journals? what do you talk about? Is it more about the events that are happening in your life or just your thoughts on particular things?
