I try to journal daily, even though I sometimes let my weariness get the best of me and I choose to read instead. My journals may seem different than most. I write out the emotions that I would not convey in person. I write out the inner-workings of my mind, which are very intricate and precise. Most importantly though, my journals are usually my prayers to God.
I honestly do not normally choose to write for the benefit of others. Instead, it is usually for my benefit, even though I often allow others to read some of my writing and journals -- that's certainly a privilege! This blog is mainly for myself, also.
I am doing something a lot different this summer... I am actually keeping a very specific journal for this summer because I know that this is going to be a summer to remember, and I HAVE to document what all happens. I am also writing a short story. That's something I haven't done in a long time, but I LOVE it! When I was in High School, I used to write all the time, especially poems. Writing is such a beautiful form of art and expression, because you know that it is something that is unique to who you are and how you were created. I am not really sure of the direction of the story, but I know that the processes of writing and editing bring out the "true" Lacey.
