Good From Ill

[cobalt999]

Journals have a way of exposing our weaknesses, whether we want them to or not. These flaws are embedded, and emerge unspoken. Terse, everyday accounts suggest an absent imagination. Soaking sentimentality proves no restraint. When we speak of others, we say as much about ourselves. And when we speak of ourselves, we never say quite what we intend

Even though it's been well established, it warrants being stated again; I hope you do decide to start another journal. Not only do I want to stay in touch with you, I also truly enjoy your insight. Whatever you decide though, please keep in touch... and visit!

I suppose I'll come out of the wood work once more.

As busy as I have been since my departure from Pensacola, I still enjoyed returning to your journal for a clear, concise, and well written look into your progress and emotions in the absence of our breaks for the dismal coffee in the cafeteria so many years ago.

This journal also quickly became the only means of communication I had with you aside from the ever aging contact entry in my cell phone, which until recently due to ULTRA, I assumed to be incorrect.

I concur with those before me in that I hope you continue writing, even if only for yourself. Good luck with whatever you choose to do however. You *are* too hard on yourself. Learn to laugh a little. At this point in life, doing what makes you happy is far more important for your health and happiness than holding yourself to some kind of trivial self-standard.

Oh, and get back into the music scene. We miss you.

Goodbye, and...
