I found my old journal that was given to me a long time ago. After reading through it I found that there is a big difference between the younger me and the person I am today. Though an interesting thought occurred to me while reading it, my youth is immortalized in this thing! it may sound selfish but if I publish a book my stories would be around forever. Another realization while reading the old journal is that I used 'dude' so much that it kind of bothered me.
I tried so hard to be different in those days I forgot the real thing I should cherish, innocence of not only my mind, but also of how I viewed things in those days. My Journal will probably never be read by another human being or even found for that matter, until I meet the abyss that everyone eventually faces.
The scary thing is,I remember every bit of those entries, I was able to see in my minds eye, what happened and why. Maybe leaving something behind for the future is a good idea, so when I'm an old man I can not only dream of the past, but also of the future.
I leave you now with a quote from Disturbed. well from the song 'Alive'
"The thing I treasure most in life can not be taken away"
