public/private/journal

...the lines are really fucking blurred.
sometimes, it feels like anything written to LJ is a PSA-missive. my life isn't about public service announcements, but this place is for me to record my life, to think more about what i do every day and to leave myself clues to remember more after days pile up and everything gets rather blurry.
i looked at an older entry earlier today, and there was a vague reference to something someone said to me, that was significant. and i could remember having been told something significant, but the words didn't come back to me - the vague reference wasn't enough.
but, to put in the quotes, to put more out here feels like a combination of jumping up and down saying "look here, pay attention to me" and leaving myself a little too vulnerable.
and yeah, i have friend groups, but picking which person sees which detail feels rather silly.

...and no, i haven't come up with any answers yet...

i keep a paper journal to supplement... there i put scraps or receipts, matches, love-letters, in addition to private "quote mark" entries and simple things that i think about that would make no sense to the world...

i love this picture...
