This is a journal i started so i dont take anything for granted this summer. its more of a "what i did today" journal instead of one where i write my actual feelings. i think to do the latter is nearly impossible for me; i couldnt possibly describe my emotions in writing, and i prefer to not be able to remember how i felt during the past. if i write down the hurt, i will remember the hurt in the future. but i can always look back on good times and remember how much love i felt for my friends. simply: the physical memories i will be writing down will remind me of the emotional ones i had without having to write them down. maybe its delusional to only remember the good feelings, but its the best coping method i seem to have.
