Why I'm doing such a crazy thing

I have a large collection of journals that I have kept over the years. When I read them I can vividly remember my feelings at the time of writing or the experience I was writing about. Sometimes I am embarrassed by the directness of the writing. Sometimes I am amazed at the way I had with words as a teenager. Sometimes I feel as if I have lost that skill.

This is purely a selfish exercise, and most likely not interesting to anyone else but myself.
