Lost. Journal. Entries.
19-Jan-03
Did you ever lose a journal entry or comment after you finished it?
Doesn’t that suck?
To make myself feel better, I remind myself that loss is a part of life. I try to re-create what I wrote, but without any expectations of “Draft #2″ being as good as “Draft #1.”
Things get lost. They get misplaced. They end up in a drawer. Or a garage. In a box, somewhere. Stuff gets left behind. Sometimes it sucks. Sometimes you can re-gain what was lost. Sometimes, though, it is gone forever, and nothing can bring it back.
It’s important to remember that a material possession is just an object. A journal is just an expression– it’s not you, just a reflection of you.
