Reading this entry was a good idea http://mythomanic.livejournal.com/177273.html because it reminded me what it was like to be really happy. in fact my whole LJ is a good idea. it is all little notes to myself mostly, with comments from other people ( Read more... )

I'd like it to be that I left the world a better place then I found it. I think I'd also like to have cared more about others than I did for myself, though the truth is I have a long way to go with that one. It seems that the less happy I am, the harder it is not to focus on myself, which I think is the wrong way to go about it.

As for other people knowing this? It's not that important, the effect of my behavior is what matters to me.

I suppose like to be remember fondly by the people who cared about me, but that's pretty well guaranteed for anyone. I'd also want them to know how much I appreciated them and the joy they brought to me.

If I had to choose one pie in the sky thing to live on after myself, I'd like to write a play, probably a light comedy with deeper undertones. Alas, talent is a cruel (but fair) mistress.

I think my LJ will die before me. In fact I hope it will.

I can agree about LJ and the like. I suppose I'd want my locked posts unlocked upon my death, they're mostly locked to prevent potential inconvenience to myself in life. I like to be understood (by people who won't use that understanding against me), which I suppose is a good thing given that I'm the opposite of mysterious.

If my LiveJournal survived after my death, I worry that it would be unnecessarily biased towards gloom. When I'm down, I write to purge, and when I'm happy, I'm too busy to record it. This is especially true of late, having an amazing woman to share my life with.

That being said, I find LiveJournal an amazing tool for self-reflection. Every now and then I look back and see what I wrote a year, two years, even five years ago. I am pleased that I do have insight. I love that I sometimes look back at seemingly self-evident descriptions of pain and can no longer remember what caused them. It helps.

Thanks for reading my inane stories about Greg and co--I'll tell him to reply to your emails more often.
I had no idea this was you--I've been reading posts (shared by Matt Pierce in google reader) from Breathe Poetry for ages. They've been great influence for my other internet exposition (aieep.xanga.com). I look forward to reading more with that new context in mind!
