[Quiet Man Cometh]

I take a differentn approach to journalling then you do, MuseSick. To me, the journal itself is an entitiy and I address it when I write. I speak to an audience, and I always have the feeling that there is one, even if it may come years down the road in a dusty attic somewhere. It's sort of an impression that I have, preserving my thoughts and impressions of my life for posterity.

I once tore out some pages of my early journal when I was a child because I thought too much time had passed between those entries and when I started writing again, and I've regretted it ever since.

I also kept a journal in another language. I'm a native English speaker but was learning Swedish in university so I kept a journal in that language as practice. I haven't written in it in ages but I keep telling myself to pick it up again, even if it's just to write in some basic vocabulary lists, like groceries for dinner.
