Tonight, I finally finished my latest journal. I'm not sure what number journal it was, because I've filled many a journal, but I'm sure it's up in the teens somewhere.
Anyway, I'm moving onto a new journal and sort of feeling nostalgic.
The relationship between a girl and her journal is a beautiful thing.. delicate, honest and vulnerable. A journal knows its girl's deepest thoughts, hardest aches, happiest joys, silliest rambles, most illogical feelings, most embarrassing experiences, funniest quirks and sincerest sentiments.
This completed journal's name is Daisy... yeah, I name my journals. Lame, but true. I don't actually address the journal by it's given name, I just like to think it has a little bit of personality. I haven't had a journal named Daisy yet, and, it being my pen name and all, I thought it would be appropriate to have at least one Daisy journal.
Daisy's seen my entire junior year of college up until this point, so it's sort of weird starting a new one at the end of February, but ya know. What can ya do. My new journal is pretty spiffy, and I'm still trying to think up a good name for her, so if you have any suggestions, do share!
To fill up the last few pages of Daisy, I decided to list a few things that I need to do more, want to do more or just want to do in general. The list sort of turned into more than just a few things, but here's what came out of the list:
Hello, new journal, new memories, new lessons, new stories, new thoughts and new perspectives. Enjoy me, in older form!
