Hey Taryn. I have never been able to keep a journal, have tried but no dice. I keep a musical diary. I play piano&guitar and every time I start to play I record it. Sometimes I have a melody in my head and NEED to get it out. So I have tens of thousands of hours of files on my computer and hard drives and sheet music filled with scribbles done by a crazy lady. I can listen to them and know exactly what I was feeling at that point. Sometimes they scare the shit out of me and a few times I have actually made them into full songs. But I don't delete anything. Perfect timing Taryn for this, thank you. This blog and your writing is so good and it always makes me think something else than work and all the shit that make me anxious. Keep going!!
krista !! that's amazing. what a cool way to "journal" -- so wild that you'll be able to literally listen back to yourself from different points in your life. love that.
thanks so much for reading. cannot thank you enough!
Beautiful writing, thoughts, and reflections, Taryn. Can’t wait to read that book. I’ve been journaling to help connect thoughts as well. Met the love of my life two days before official lockdown. We were separated and I haven’t seen her face since. Been keeping a journal entry and photo album of every sunrise I see in hopes of bringing her back. Over 120 sunrises logged. Hoping to make a similar connection with thoughts and emotions like you did. Thank you for all that you write and share. You already are a master connector.
I love the way you think, Taryn. I am impressed by your fascination with collection(probably because I feel the same way, but am not quite as talented as you are in the articulation department.) I am excited for your book to come someday. Whatever it says, I'll read it and do some marking of my own inside <3
