Wrote in my journal today at lunchtime, out in the sunshine. It was the first time in more than a month that I’ve written in it at all – and a month ago I only wrote a few sentences.
I’m sad that the lovely romantic first year of my relationship is going practically unchronicled, so I wrote about how things are going with M. Sometimes putting things in writing lets me see them in a new way. Even though I’m not needing to vent or do self-therapy, it’s such a good thing to do.
I’ve spilled a lot of ink on tortured or stuck relationships. This one’s gonna last, I think, and I’ll want to go back and revisit the early heady days. It’s ironic that I’ll have less to read about M than I will about various other boyfriends-du-jour.
43 things is not the same as a journal

it’s public, and it’s ephemeral, and it’s organized very differently from an ongoing narrative.
I’m enjoying 43 things – I can zap out a thought or two quickly. Maybe my journal writing should be more like 43 things.
but instead this has become a substitute for journal writing – which is not so good because what will I go back and read 10 years from now? how will I know what it was like to fall in love this year, to be 38, to demote myself, all the other stuff that’s happened?
