Journaling

Until this day, I did not write in a Journal, Diary, or any other form of collected work. Why? I guess I am a paranoid sort of person. Writing in a Journal, I thought, were for scientists who needed to keep record of their work, explorers (a type of scientist) who needed to warn the person who found the journal on their remains about the terror that was about to befall them, emo teens who had no other emotional outlet, and psychos who want the world to know their mind through reading the "manifesto" they left behind. To be perfectly honest with myself, I think I am a blend of those last two personalities. The world does not realize how grateful it should be that I have such great self-control over my base desires. I could be a real pain-in-the-ass (PITA) evil genius if that were my intent. But no! I am a good guy and have all intentions of staying that way. That, and the fact that journals and diaries are admissible as evidence in a court of law. Perhaps that is one reason why I never started a journal before: I was keeping my options open to becoming a real PITA evil genius. So much for that career path, now. I am no scientist either, though, so that leaves me with journaling for emotional outlet like a emo teenager. So be it. I did not keep a journal while I was a teenager, so perhaps this effort will have a therapeutic effect on my psyche that has long gone untreated. Or maybe not. It is my firm belief that I have effectively dealt with my emotional damage over the years in other ways to become the good, upstanding person I am today. However, I just started this site to explore the various nooks and crannies of my mind, so perhaps I am that intrepid explorer after all... BEWARE!
