- i have a lot of thoughts and a bad short term memory
- if i don't document something, i feel like it isn't real or didn't happen, but i don't want to rely on social media as a memory-keeper. for one thing, i want to move away from using social media too much in general. it's too ephemeral, in the same way that the websites and blogs and livejournals i made as a teenager are all lost and no longer accessible.
- i enjoy journaling! i've been keeping journals since i was seven or eight and it's so nice to be able to go through those old notebooks and look back.
- sourcing material to write on and organizing my thoughts to make diary comics from.
- getting better in touch with my feelings and actually trying to make sense of what i'm going through in real time, rather than months after the fact, realizing everything i had been repressing and avoiding.
- i think i'm a good writer, or at least i've been told a lot that i'm articulate, and i want to improve my writing. i think that i have important things to say and i think that if i can find the drive and discipline, i'm meant to create things that blend both visual art and writing/publishing/zines.
