People do this now?

My eleven year-old sister keeps a diary, which is classicly formed with a lock and key on the edge, holding her most private words shut, safe inside for only her to see. Today, I have started a blog, that is pretty much the same idea but completely naked, for anyone to see...friends, strangers, and people who I kinda know, but mostly, really don't. And I am probably one of millions who likes this idea of writing whatever is going through your mind and exposing it to the vastness of the internet.


And there's something so fuckin cool about that I think. It feels, writing within this format, that you have to simply not be afraid of who you are, or more simply, and a bit less cheese, this act of posting a diary on the internet, might actually allow some people to be honest with themselves, and not hide it.

Well, that's at least what it's doing for me. And maybe, I just want to use this as a practice for that reason most of all, and I want it somehow, to be honest enough that I don't have to hide it away. I'm sure, if I do keep this up, entries will be superficial, some not, some boring, and some uncomfortably revealing. And perhaps, if I can show myself in this way through the internet, I can show up in the similarly courageous and honest way everywhere else.

So, yeah, that's about it, for now.
