Wow all I want to do is eat, sleep, and draw well. All three are so difficult to achieve. I procrastinated for a grand four hours today, and I still don’t plan on doing APUSH anytime soon.
Here are some of the things I want to do:
write well
sing alone
draw well/accordingly
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep
Not have diarrhea every time I experience an emotion
Stop biting nails
Not feel bad about having sex (which I have not done)

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.
