Hello world!
Truth be told, I always begin the day with a glass of water, a cup of coffee, and a journal. Recently I spent almost an hour looking for an ugly Christmas sweater to wear to school in order to be “that” teacher who dresses appropriately for the season. To my surprise, I found 24 journals tucked away, nicely I might add, in a box near the paint cans. Out of curiosity, I opened one up and dove right in. The particular journal I randomly dug from its resting place was dated to my early 20s. Whether I want to convey my actual age or not on here, I was definitely a much younger and unworldly individual.
Needless to say, I abandoned the mission to find the ugly Christmas sweater (RIP, oh knitted one), poured myself a glass of wine, and read all 24 journals. Some of the things written were absolute rubbish. Who writes nearly 70 pages on a crush who ended up joining the seminary! (Update, he’s a great priest now!) I have the liberty to highly criticize these journals for I am the rightful owner, and can say any insult to my demise.
