my journals are my songs.... pretty much i just write lyrics about my day, or my feelings, as im not realy good with writing to myself, for myself
I know i would like people to read my journal if i died or even if i didnt, im a pretty open person and i just dont see the point of writing lots of pages expressing my feelings and opinions and just leaving them there for only you to read

ive had this diary since i think 94 and its not even half full but its really cool when i pick it up and read about something i did on a saturday in april in 1994... but im not sure if id want someone else to read that. i guess i wouldnt mind if people read it when id died but at the same time... what if someone i didnt really like that much read it and i didnt want them to you know... id want it to be left to my family to read as a moving on of their grief and also then read fifty yeras later by anyone... if they cared.  i fiind the way of sorti of keeping a journal is writing letters. if i get down about something ill write a letter to someone, usually a guy for some reason, and then just put it away on my shelf or something. i think sit because in a way we're giving a narrative and we really have to fill in every possible gap about it and it give more reflection etc... i dont know. now playing: coldplay - dont panic.  |

my journal book thing is mainly filled with poems as entries...occassionally a short story or 2 and very occassionally a proper diary entry thing. its nice to have this record of when you wrote what ect..because that writing describes my experience more than any "dear diary...blah blah" could ever.

well if in songs and paintings your expressing feelings and emotions what if you just wrote that down in prose??
even if it was dear diary blahblah.
do you think that holds a similar effect? or meaning?
