Dear diary,
I've tried my hand at journaling in the past, with varying degrees of success/failure. But hopefully now it will be different! Because I've just recently realized something! A journal can be absolutely anything you want it to. Totally obvious, I know, but in the past, I've always tried to do a daily detailed account of my day, and I get about 3 days into that then abandon my journal for ... many days. But I can just write a sentence-- "My day really stunk."--and be done with it! So I shall try it. Because I can imagine it would be really fun to root through your old things one day, find a journal from middle school, and read it. That would be so cool, reading what you truly thought however long ago, exactly how you saw things. And so I shall start today. On the next page. Because if this were a book, this would be the introduction (hey, who knows!). Plus I like writing the date. And so... without further ado... my very first journal in which I actually grasp the concept of said journal!
Excellent!
Erin
