On Journaling

In early 2013 I decided to start writing in a journal again. From August 2000 through 2007 I had kept a journal of ideas and responses to different books I had been reading. Around late 2003 my journal writing trailed off, and I cannot honestly say why, as I don’t remember. Fast-forward to late winter 2013 and I decided it was time to start journaling again. Again, this is a journal of ideas, and I have been trying to keep up with it in the midst of looking for work, doing said work, trying to have a life, continuing to read, and barely finding any time to write, or the inspiration to as well. But this time I’m more committed to journaling as a means of expressing my ideas and my own self in language that will be viewed by my eyes only.
