I’m one of those guys who have a journal to write down feelings, and make the pages soggy with my tears. I’ve posted an entry on here before, and tend to just write random personal thoughts that probably shouldn’t be put out there in public.
However, how do you decide what to write about? Do you write about each day? There’d be a lot of boring entries, and half of them might be the same, unless you were exceptionally amazing. Or just particularly eventful…events that happen?
I’ve attempted to keep journals in the past, but more often than not they turn dark and I end up tearing pages out. I also wrote too much in them to the point that I ran out of things I wanted to, and they end up getting thrown in a drawer gathering dust. Trying not to do either of these things has proven hard, because what’s happened is now I rarely write in it. I don’t want to write anything bland or “emo” in there, but I do want to write in it. Then there’s this blog. A few times when I’ve wanted to write something in the journal, the urge to write it for the “public” has been stronger, and it’s ended up on here.
Trick is, I’m yet to find that middle ground. I’m just wondering if there’s anyone else who’s had this trouble, or doesn’t. Do you keep a journal of some form or another, and is it working out for you?
