In The Beginning…
Okay, I must admit to having no idea what I’m doing to start with. I’ve got this loose idea that I can sort of start storing stuff here…memories, ideas, pictures, stories. Things that might fade away now that my brain is getting a little older.
Maybe I’ll get a list together of the holidays I’ve taken, the places I’ve visited, the people I’ve known. Maybe thinking about it all will be an interesting trip in itself - I sometimes find that the more I think about something, or discuss an event with friends, the more of that event comes back to me. So maybe I’ll remember more stuff about my life after writing about it a bit. I think I’ll just get some Omega 3 supplements and save some time!
I like the idea of being able to ‘reverse-engineer’ my diary. Okay, I only kept one for a few months to a year when I was 14/15 years old…but it had some really juicy bits in it - the kind of stuff that kids do when they’re discovering the world and pushing the boundaries - too far in most cases I can remember. Even though I only kept a diary for a year, I like the idea of having some kind of record of the rest of the stuff that I’ve experienced over time. My own small piece of immortality.
Well, I’m knackered now from figuring out how to post my first page. I’ll see if I can muster the enthusiasm to get some stuff down at some point.
