Keeping a journal has always seemed to be an intimate habit
to express the thoughts you cannot share with other people. While I have this romantic notion of journal
keeping, I haven’t been very successful in keeping a journal at various times
in my life. Having other people read
your journal without being asked and becoming offended by something you’ve
written, takes any romantic ideas about writing and crumbles them up like paper
going to the trash can. As I was
relating my journal experiences to a friend they asked the question, “Why keep
a journal if you don’t want someone else to read it?”
Admittedly, this is a very logical question. In return my question is, “How do you express
your most intimate thoughts if you can’t write them in a private journal?”
