So for my new years resolution I tried to fill up this journal with my thoughts and my problems, and whatever is running through my head. Since this has put a little cramp in my blog-ductivity, I am going to kill a few birds with this 70 sheet wide ruled stone and post some of my journal entries up here. This is the first one which I think I wrote on the plane back to ny from detroit.
December 30, 2006
Here we go. As i'm 25 years old faced witht he 26th year in whichi I've lived coming in only 2 days, merely 30 hours away. At the moment my brain is in a number of places, some still in college, some already into my thirites and only a few in the here and now. Some chunks are stuck on significant events in the past that are latched on like a burr on your clothes. Add to this the fact that my thoughts are also scattered among a bunch of other different concernts like marriage, religion and even fashion. My mind is rarely in the present, in the moment, and it is affecting my ability to be the best that I can be . So to start this year and to start the rest of my life, I'm going to start this journal and try to write out everythign that my mind gets stuck on. I will write about the myself as much as I can until I fill this thing up. The end goal of all of this writing should be to create some kind of goal. Some goals will be easy, like the need to set up a budget. Some goals may not be that easy to figure out. In the case of those burr type things the goal may be just to write them down and hopefully in the honest writing down of these things, they will lose their hold on me.
