I hate Tuesdays. They suck. Sorry I haven’t written for a while. It’s been crazy, way too much to write. But I went to the Arnebergs for Thanksgiving. I had cramps at the table, of course.
I just got my paper back from Nicki, who typed it. Oh my god, thank the lord it was only the rough copy.
Born in 1996
Over the coming months, I'll be publishing several journal entries a day in chronological order. I began journaling in 2007, when I was eleven years old. Even then I wrote as though I were archiving my life, collecting details about my world. As I grew older, journaling became more of a description of my emotional world.
I am an aspiring creative nonfiction writer who is producing very little since graduating college this Spring. But with this unusually thorough account of my entire adolescence, I feel as though I have been given a gift that has been under my nose this whole time.
This is a practice in forgiveness and vulnerability. It is also a way to laugh at myself.
