“The notebook can help me tap into that sadness one last time before I figure out how to be happy.”
Notes to Self are longer journal entries from Seven Yrs Ago. Read Sticky, “conscious effort counts” for snipped poetry. I was 20 in late 2013.
Going to go thru the notebooks from the year and end it off with my notebook when I was 16. I think it’ll be okay and will exercise some demons, but I will admit I am terrified of the last one. I know that the last one may be a Pandora’s box, but I feel if I don’t read it, remember it, and accept it, I won’t be able to understand why I am the way I am now. I have to do it.
I am stronger now, older and I know I have the resources for me to get better. And I will with time. The notebook can help me tap into that sadness one last time before I figure out how to be happy. Writer’s fuel too. Here goes something?
Temporarily moving to a bigger notebook, call you when I get back.
