RE: Journals and Essays: Why Ever Would I Want to Write About THAT???
Great piece@denmarkguy
Old journals are similar to "archeological digs" I can definitely relate. I write poems and each of my old piece embodies a story,which inspired the work and emotions. Just reading them again reminds me of what I was feeling at the time. There are some that reminds me of how young I was but that feeling never ends especially if you keep writing.I found it rather hard keeping a journal, I didn't want to encounter similar experience like you did. But I'm always of the opinion that writing can be a very proficient way of self evaluation.
Old poems, and paintings, and other creative endeavors become part of the tapestry that is the story of our lives.
As much as anything, I keep writing because it helps me "work through questions and problems" in a better way than talking to other people... at least in most cases. And particularly when I am dealing with very private issues.
Thanks for stopping by, and for your nice comment!
You're welcome,sir.
And I definitely agree with you!
