journal keeping

Do any of you keep journals on here? Blog elsewhere? Or real live pen on paper record keeping?

 

I blog from time to time when new things happen, but I'm not one for memories, really. I figure my mind will remember what it wants and trash the rest.

I do write in a gratitude and accomplishment journal every night.... well I try to every night. Doesn't always work.

Anyway, I write down 5 people that I was grateful for during the day and 5 things I accomplished that day. Makes the days better and helps me maintain relationships better with those around me. Not just love life type of stuff, but jobs, friends etc. There are actually people from HF that make my gratitude journal at night etc.

 

sometimes. i write to relieve myself so i sort of have to write or else i get stressed out. but sometimes if i just tell someone then its as good as writing it. and i usually use pen and paper but sometimes a word document or something like that.

 

Really cool idea.

 

do you have to be a supporter to have a journal on here? if not i will so make one..

but yeah, i keep a written journal. i have had it since i was 13, but i only write in it like twice a year, if that. when i feel nostalgic or keep dwelling on a certain memory, i will write it down in detail.

 

Yeah, I thought so too. I kind of....mocked the idea at first, but it really does bring a sense of peace with it.

You're in there too.

Did you just start writing in your hip journal today, or have I not been paying attention?

 

No, I just made a first entry in mine hahaha. I always am reading blogs online. Some are SO interesting.

 

I do field reports and lay reports in the community. I do a little journal on here just so I don't have to post my adventures in threads and for those interested in my yadadai. When I post my yadadai I always end up in a debate. Not that I hate debates it's just I'm tired of defending the same shit.

 

Yeah. It's all on pen and paper. And it spans a lot of not very well organized notebooks. It covers a lot of cross country adventures, army time.

I only have like two of them on me. I'd hate to be a biographer who tries to piece my life together someday.

 

Aint that the truth. Hearing the same arguments all the time is annoying.

Blogs can be really interesting. Some kinda creep me out. Not on here but other sites I've read blogs on. Best part about journals/blogs/whateva is that you never have to hear anybody's shit.

 

I've read really interesting blogs and a lot of terribly boring ones, and it's kinda hard for me to sort out.

Usually I just have a couple of peoples that I'll check out. I'm an elitist snob about who's thoughts I'll bother reading.

I reread all my journals I wrote write before I checked into the nuthouse in '06.

Those were gems.

 

i don't keep anything
i've tried

but i never stuck with it

 

You should peep mine out. It's an expose

 

I honestly use this place like a journal at times. I go back and read my posts as TCF, TheGoat, etc and it reminds me of who I was, how I've changed, why I changed etc. Also helps me evaluate what I like and don't like about the change. What I miss about being me back then and what I am glad is no longer a part of me.

To me, my behaviour on here is more natural and telling than anything I can choose to say about myself or my day, in general.

 

Been on HF since I was 15. Pretty cool.

 

I put alot of my writtings on my myspace page, but as far as just writting about the day i don't do it.

 

yeah when i was younger i would try to keep one but then it seemed like a chore but now its like i write stuff when i feel like i need to. plus its not like anyone else reads it.

 

you people should go and tell me if my journal is private i just wrote one hastily. i put everyone on my buddy list on my reader list, but im not sure if its even veiwable to them. go look and tell me! thanksss

 

Exactly. Been here since about 19 or so. Guaranteed those old posts, if you read enough of them, will tell you more about who you were as an individual than any picture you could look back on.

 

I can't see it.
