Until I turned twenty-one, I kept a journal. A real journal. It stayed tucked in a drawer on my bedside table and after a particularly long or exciting day, I'd stay up for hours just to scribble down thoughts. It was almost like going to therapy. My fingers and palms would cramp up from pages and pages of writing down every detail I could remember ( Read more... )

I think writing will forever be the most therapeutic way for me to get my emotions out and to deal with any shit in my life. And sometimes reading back on the doom and gloom can be helpful too because you can see how far you've come from where you were the moment you laid that pen to paper. Anyway, I don't know. I've accepted that I'll probably be clueless about most things for the rest of my life.

It just makes me wish I wasn't such a mess four or five years ago. I can see why reading back makes you re-think everything though. I really like your icon!

And then there's that cliche about how if you're never a mess, then you wouldn't really know what it was like to not be one and you wouldn't learn from anything. But it's still shitty, I'm with ya. Aw, thanks. Airbrushing is an amazing invention.

I'm really jealous that you actually kept journals. I started probably ten of them throughout my younger years and I could never keep going with them. I'd write probably five entries and then get bored. I should see if I can dig those up, rip out the entries and put them all into one book or something...then maybe I would be able to say that I have at least one complete journal! I'm so excited for Nicole, I can already see all the good things that little Harlow is going to bring into her life. Let's go shopping for some adorable baby clothes! I'm thinking some cute Ed Hardy baby stuff that she can grow into!

Trying to keep up with it now is going to be hard. I'm lazier now than I used to be. You should do that, then publish it. Oh man, let's do it. I love baby clothes.

Would you ever let anyone read your real journals? I used to keep one and I find it embarrassing to read myself, I could never let anyone else. I'm so glad you posted this.

i had a journal when i was really really little, i'm talking like 9 years old, and i would keep a list in the back of it of what boys i liked and "thought were cute". it was quite organized. i would also place stars next to their names according to how hot i actually thought they were. bahahaha.

LMAO THOUGHT WERE CUTE! You're too funny. You had a rating system before you were even a teenager.

Well, that's news that I didn't want to hear. I'll drink a couple of drinks for you and I promise to keep your boyfriend away from places like Magic City, the Scores of the South.

I know! I have to visit you soon though. I haven't seen you in way too long. Hey, I'm not anti-strip club as long as they're as classy as Scores.
