Hate to get into one-up-manship, but I caught my mom reading my journals when I was a senior in high school. She has always refused to apolgize because she was justified because she was worried. Hah!
So I also have been hesitant to journal.
> I started out ok this am, but now am starting to windup...that confused, must do everything now brain. I stopped, got some juice, and am sitting here to talk to you. I have never really written in a journal. Maybe this is why people do it...When I was young, I got one with a little key. I wrote in it every day and carefully locked it and put it in a drawer. I stopped after I discovered my older sister had snuck in found it, jimmied the lock and read everything. ALL my secrets. I found out when she was teasing me about the boy I liked...'I read it in your diary...'well, ever since, I have carried a grudge and I have never written private thoughts...just notes, just up down, dizzy confused, angry...It is ironic that here, on the internet where anyone, everyone could read these, I am saying anything. Maybe it is because I don't know if I know you? Or perhaps, because you are a new aquantaince, someone who knows me because of these challenges we face together. Anyway, I have taken a rest. I am going to try to take one step for today. and say that is enough, that is enough to be satisfied.
