So I decided to include some personal journal pages (this time 'round) and some explanation. I journal like a mad woman...I love the concept of recording time and being able to reflect on instances more accurately than simply recalling on buried memories. It keeps things cleaner...at least when you honestly record and avoid ambiguity...this journal wreaks of ambiguity though...a shade of vague that I have commented and scratched my head at over and over again...snarling at myself for not better explaining it to my mind that craves understanding...so very much. I have had to accept that I am just in a season of convoluted, content, and sometimes haunting thoughts and actions...and inaction. A time where my own words are my adversary and quotes, ideas, and doodles are my companions. It's so neat to see the travels of my personal records...the first four journals(that span from 2004-2008) are clear and filled to the brim with words of love, anguish, enlightenment, ideas, revelations, encouragement...and this one...full of the same things but in picture form...the only things my hands, head, and heart can muster! pictures! It is such a gift...to be able to record, remember, think, describe, define, just BE...I am so grateful. So so so grateful to be alive...and feeling everything I am able to feel...and boy...have I wandered into some pretty fatal and pretty remarkable things. I encourage you to consider journaling in some form.
what else? well...work, school, friends, exploration, thought...you should know already...I do it all...I'm kind of a big deal..
