Haha, so today I finished printing out my journal from my first year in college. It's 135 pages typed-11 sized font instead of 12. I started it after three days in Provo... "I kind of just felt like writing. We'll see what comes out..."

Crazy how much I wrote, how much came from those first two lines. I had a lot to say... and a lot of things I could really only tell myself-haha, things I worked out for myself in my journal. I love the fact that I have so much recorded. And ya, it's cool to read what I did each day but the best parts are how I felt and what I thought about things. The last line turned out to be pretty epic too... though kind of mean and not something I'm going to post on the internet :)

I know I've written about journals before but I just have to say, I love the days when I can just write because I feel like writing. Yes, there were plenty of days that I didn't feel like writing but I did... actually, a lot of posts start out that way: "Well, not in the mood to write..."

I don't know that anyone will ever read it-but it felt good to get things out. And, of course, it's fun to go back and read myself :)
