I have been keeping journals on and off since
I was in 6th grade and I derive a great amount of satisfaction from doing
so. To me, they are not so much a place to talk about the events of the day
(I think that's boring!) as they are a place to talk about thoughts and feelings.
I use journaling as a way to figure out what I think about things. I also
use it as an emotional outlet when I feel like there's no where else I can
go to say how I REALLY feel. (Which for me, being a very quiet and reserved
person, is often).
I have two journals that I keep online. I update
them whenever I feel like I have something to say. It comes out to roughly
twice a week, but it varies a lot.
The first is my
public journal, which
is where you should start. See if you find it interesting. Not everyone will,
I am sure. But if you do, I want to hear from you! So, I have set up this
ingenious scheme to make you email me.
It's called...
My private
journal! This one is password protected. I will give you the password
if you exchange a few emails with me and tell me a bit about yourself. I
talk about more personal things in this journal and I want to have some idea
of who is reading it.
