Sometimes I wonder, when looking at someone elses journal, who are they. Writing can only tell so much about a person, and usually it's more truth then you'd get from metting the person...in person..But then sometimes I'll read a journal, and everything will seem fine in the persons life, until I look at when it was last updated, and it says august

I once found a journal from a girl who killed herself. I showed it to my boy and it had a strange effect on him. It started to remind me of the story "The Yellow Wallpaper."

I find it best not to wonder too much about a person whose LJ has been abandoned either due to negligence or death.

It's so morbid that it can become obsessive and frightening.

It is indeed morbid, but I also think it's kind of..beautiful in a way. I'd love people to look at my journal after my death..even the locked entries..I dunno..I like reading about peoples lives who I don't know..

well, if you just die then it's a different feeling. but if you take your own life, there seems to be some emotional residue that adheres itself to the reader. i just know that i didn't feel good inside when i came across it. there was something very painful about it.

I can see that. Almost as though you're not supposed to be there..
