I keep two journals nowadays.
I keep a gratitude journal on which I write the things I am grateful for each day. I got this idea from Oprah (oo, close kami).
I keep this blog to write about stuff which I just felt like sharing to the world (or make that .0000000001% of the population of the world).
I used to have one additional notebook before where I just felt writing about anything. But that was before blogs came about. That was before I decided to keep one journal – which is mainly for those things that I am grateful for. Until I decided to just write in that same gratitude journal any other stuff I would love to write as well as those quotable quotes I get to receive and read.
However, it made me think if my journals are really reflections of what I think.
I am not saying that all the things I write are not true, because they are 100% true.
But can I say that they are not reflections of who I am since there are things that I do not write about?
It’s the same question that has been probably been asked from you: would you be considered as a liar if you decide not to tell something to some other person?
Probably. Probably not. It depends.
With all honesty, there are things I keep to myself. Some may be handwritten in my journal. Others are kept within me. And no other person knows about it. There are times I feel the urge to share it with someone. However, I try to stop myself because I feel that there would be no point.
All the things I share I write with the knowledge that people would know about it. That’s the thing with blogs. I filter my thoughts. I only share what I feel I should share, without any fear that anybody would get to read it.
The same thing goes for my journal. No, I don’t keep it in a safe place. It’s in my drawer along with some other stuff. Although I don’t really publish it, everything I write, I write with the awareness that somebody would get to read this.
And there are things which I keep to myself. I do not know exactly the reason why I keep things to myself. Maybe that is just my nature. But I guess, everyone has that at least one thing that only he and nobody else in this world knows.
Don’t worry.
The things I keep to myself are petty, most of them anyway.
The things I keep to myself would not change your life, I think.
The things I keep to myself I keep so as not to hurt other people, I hope.
The things I keep to myself would not make me a superhero, as if.
If it would save the world, I would let you know about it ;)
