I remember when i started by first online journal and the only reason I did it was to talk to and about my present girlfriend. I have been on online journals now for 4 years I have 4 years of my life saved so I can look back and see what was important to me at that period in my life. I also know how other people felt about me in the past and how they have changed or stayed the same. I think it is great. I can remember the emotions when I first read those entries. It's great. I read them to myself so I understand why I felt the way I did. Now with new emotions that I am feeling I am unsure about past emotions. Does that make sense? I thought I love in love before. It's not till now that I realize what other people were telling me when they told me it wasn't love but just a close copy. I felt love but it wasn't authentic. When I read old entries I feel the lingering feels that I used to have but I compare them to ones I have now and they seem so small.
Upon reading older entries I remember bad times. Like when I was going to be sent to military school. The both times I was threatened. I remember my triumphs. I remember deciding what was best for me. Even if it doesn't seem that way. I love those memories. They make me who I am. I thank everyone that I have met in my life for them. Thats all we have in life is memories and I take the good with the bad. The bad ones are the best sometime because you can see how you overcame them. I love that.
Warm Feelings
