I have been re-reading some of my old journals and it is amazing how I have grown, how my perspectives have changed and yet how some people and situations have remained unchanged.
Right now I am in a journal from my senior year in high school in 19somethingsomething ;)
In addition to poetry about my precious, beloved Granny, one of my BFFs and the precious baby (of a good friend) who died, here are a few highlights:
"February 5 ... No comment."
"February 12... I have been stressed beyond belief for the past two weeks and I would like to thank Red Bank High School for making it all possible."
"February 23... Change will come, but not without a price. We cannot acquire change otherwise..."
"March 15... We carry so much dead weight. Sometimes I wonder how we can walk even..."
"March 20... I will never drink soda again."
"April 4... Always be prepared to deal with whatever is in front of you- Positively!"
April 6... I am beginning to see that open wounds will only get worse with time. Lack of repair causes more pain, which will cause you to hurt others..."
Love Love Love re-reading old journals... laughter, insight, the ups and downs, joy, pain, heartbreak and plenty of good times...
What about you? Do you (or did you ever) keep a journal?
