I have done it! I’ve fallen in love again. Life is bearable, I’m able to escape myself for more than an hour at a time, life has shed it’s tired skin and now it waits in the snow for me, naked and terribly beautiful.
All my delusions from my previous book have dissolved, they’re all gone and melted away. It feels so good to feel safe again, all I can think is that I’ve done a good job at picking myself up after a long time spent in the dirt. I’m truly optimistic, such a new phenomenon, there is so much to look forward to.

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.
