For now, enjoy this tag!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">When Melissa tagged me for this it actually brought up a lot of old memories. I used to carry that green journal around all the time then I&#8217;d archive stuff in that big black binder. I&#8217;d wear out the binders I kept my notes inside to the point of breaking and then I&#8217;d have to get new ones. One time I left my binder on the top of my dad&#8217;s truck then he drove off to go somewhere and it actually slid off onto the side of the road. I was so devastated that I couldn&#8217;t find it, but they discovered it soggy and wet in a ditch (that&#8217;s why some of these pages are water-stained), but I was so overjoyed to have it back and because I wrote in pencil most of the writing is okay.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- more --><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">On the downside, I carried around this old ratty journal (the green one) so much that I got made fun of for it, friends and family saying it looked stupid. Because I was a shy teenager I didn&#8217;t have the gumption to stick up for myself and say, &#8220;Screw you. I like it and so what if <i>you <\/i>think it&#8217;s stupid?&#8221; so I got embarrassed and abandoned it.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Then I started writing down all of my ideas on the computer instead of carrying around a journal, so I don&#8217;t carry journals anymore and I feel like it&#8217;s partially from being made fun of about it. I write down ideas on my phone which I then transfer to my computer, which works for me, but I don&#8217;t have that enamored feeling whenever I see a journal like a lot of writers do.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">So yeah that got real.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">All of this is to say I haven&#8217;t looked at these journals in years. They&#8217;re not dated but I found a program from a play in one that&#8217;s from 2009, so I&#8217;m assuming these notes are 2009 and older. So yeah this is a little difficult for me because it&#8217;s digging up that part of my life, but I&#8217;ve got to face that part of my life sometime right?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"640\" data-original-width=\"640\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Revisiting.png?resize=400%2C400\" width=\"400\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;\">Les Rules:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">#1 &#8212; Thank whoever tagged you, then link to him\/her and the creator (<a href=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/2018\/03\/revisiting-old-journals-tag.html\">Melissa Gravitis<\/a>).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">#2 &#8212; Go through your old journals (writing or otherwise), and share something from them: from world-building to sketches, to random quotes, to an entry, to short snippets of writing!
