i have to write about the feelings.

because my friend analyzed what it is that makes re-reading a journal so interesting or memorable - it's the feelings involved, not just the events. because the events turn into a play-by-play account for what happened. but the feelings, the feelings draw you in and make you remember. and to be able to accurately convey the feelings of a specific time in your life in the written form.... that's magical. b/c you can transport yourself back to that time and re-live it all over again.

who was it who said that life could just be shadows on the wall? socrates? plato?

well i say it's not true when you actually feel it. and that's what counts.

what had happened was.... ~ ....what comes next?
