I have a total of 3 journals; a blog, a pc journal and a written journal. I thought about this previously, but it feels natural. Each serve their own purpose and they’ve got different levels too-depending on the gravity of what my thoughts contain.

My blog is a little peek inside my life and my thoughts. I exude a different image in person and I’m not the “what you see is what you get” type. I’m more of the “what you see doesn’t hold true at times” type. There’s more towards the person than first impressions and what meets the eye. Plus-most of my entries here are, more often than not, positive.

The pc journal is a little bit more forthright. This journal contains my thoughts and opinions on controversial topics such as infidelity, drugs, insecurity, mid-life crisis and so on…But I dare not post the entries on my blog because first-I must admit that I am uncomfortable with negative criticism; second-I don’t want to offend anyone; and third-people don’t like topics that are negative.

Lastly, I have a written journal which contains part of the real me. I guess the purpose for this written journal is it’s very personal connection-the hand writing, the scent and its attachments such as photos, tickets, letters and other things special to me. Knowing its entries is probably the closest anyone can really get to know me. I guess people who have this type of journal want to immortalize certain moments in their lives and themselves in other people who get to read it.

All three journals are liberating. It is in the sense that one allows you to be comforted knowing that some people get to read what you would like to impart without having to literally voice them out to be heard, another allows you to write your own history as you alone see it. And yet another allows you to be you.
