Journal Entry (Friday January 27, 2023)
My goal is to write here every day. To what end I’m not always sure. The important thing for me is the idea that I am leaving behind something tangible, something that is a part of me that can be shared with the world. (If not the world, then at least the people in my life that I care about.) When I say leaving something that is a part of me, I mean something personal. I’m not talking about political thoughts. I have no desire to persuade, it wouldn’t be hard for you to discern what my political thoughts are anyway. What I write here, I write for me. It’s difficult to explain. I can probably best describe it as a need rather than a want. Doing this fulfills me in a real way. That is not the only reason, but it is reason enough.
