I've decided to start journaling again. I haven't in the longest time, and I realized it's because I'm too self conscious to be truly honest, and when I wasn't being honest the words weren't flowing. My problem was that I couldn't write fast enough by hand, and writing in a Word doc felt too dangerous because so many people use my computer regularly. I also got overwhelmed by trying to write everything that happened, which read like a play-by-play completely devoid of feeling, or by just writing my feelings without any details of the circumstance, and then it ended up vague and stream-of-consciousy.
So I decided I will write my thoughts as they come but not get overwhelmed by trying to write EVERYTHING.
The event that inspired me to do this is re-reading I Capture the Castle. I'm not quite done, but I think I'm enjoying it as much as I did the very first time I read it. There are so many profound simple truths hidden within that I don't remember noticing the previous times I read it. It is also much better written than I recalled.
