I’ve kept journals on and off since I was 5 or so and learned how to write. I love looking back on them. It’s a strange feeling realizing how much you changed from that person who wrote that entry ## years ago. Looking back has made me realize how things that consumed me at one point in my life (a break up, a fight with my parents) are almost completley forgotten now.

Sometimes I use my journal to write poetry and write does ideas and observations about life and beauty. Sometimes my journal is my secret confidant, a place to record my fears and frustrations.

I am making this a goal because I want to be more consistent and basically write something, however short, everyday. I want to have my pen and paper on me everywhere I go.
