My elaborate journal collection

I have over 15 (completed) journals from high school through college. These are a few of my favorite covers.

 

Most of them chronicle an 8-year relationship I had with my first love. At one point in my life, these were the most important thing I owned. I wrote about every emotion (sadness, anger, happiness, bliss), every moment, often by candle light in the wee hours of the night.

 

I used to tell my closest friends, if anything ever happened to me, please make sure the boy gets these. It's funny to me that I haven't thought about their destiny in the past 10 years and if anyone would ever want to read them besides me.

 

Looking back at what I've written is always a magical and enlightening experience. Emotions were so raw and intense. They're more distant now. I'm not sure if it's age, wisdom, apathy or all of the above.

 

My how far I've come.
