Ta-Da! This Explains It All!

(5:56 P.M. – 6:03 US Central Time/still at Prestina’s house)

I was reading through the the girlie matters (http://www.thegirliematters.com/mt/mt-tb.cgi/5)

journal and I found this quote. It fully describes what I was trying to tell Cris (and everyone else for that matter) when he(they) would keep asking me why would I write the things I did in that entry(and in this journal as a whole). She must have been talking to someone because she said that someone had a response. Here it is:

“[T]he journal is only a small part of who I am. I may write about certain emotions I’m feeling at that moment but they don’t necessarily pervade my daily life. Yet, I feel more compelled to write when there is something to be purged, and not write when everything’s fine – thus leaving the appearance that I’m consumed with only darkness, when I’m not.”

And I hope he won’t mind if I quote his reply here, because it was dead on:

“Who in the hell is inspired when everything is fine?”

Yes!!! Finally! I can feel comfortable! Everyone took Cris’s side when they read that particular journal entry. They never bothered to read any of the other entries before or after that one. The main thing that people tend to forget is that this is MY journal and if they don’t like what I write about they don’t have to read it. I will write about everything that I observe unless it is too personal to share, then it gets written in my offline journal which no one reads.

Anyway, I just really needed to put that here.
