This diva needs her stage (take me or leave me)
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 02:44 amA friend of mine, whom you may know as Javina, has been talking about privacy in the wake of some problems involving her journals being used as ammunition against her new girlfriend by that girlfriend's ex, along with her 10 year journalling anniversary, and in a roundabout way has asked for my opinion, as someone who's mildly infamous for saying exactly whatever the fuck I feel like.
So. Privacy and honesty. It comes down to: Why journal, if someone's going to use it against you? Why not just write things down privately, and keep it for yourself? In the end, I write this journal for myself, but not only for myself as I exist right now. I also write for the me that will be in the future and the other people who will read this entry at whatever time.
Why do it? Because, in my life and in my mind, ( honesty gets too damn rare. )
