Innocence et Sarcasmes

I am trying to make life an adventure of my own design.

Having a heart attack from the amount of perfection in one post. Oh my god.

What is it to be young in years and suddenly wakened to the anguish, the urgency of life?

It is then to be blind to the faults of the rebellions, to yearn painfully, wholly, after all opposites of childhood’s existence.

It is impetuousness, wild enthusiasm, immediately submerged in a flood of self deprecation.

It is humiliation with every slip-of-the-tongue, sleepless nights spent rehearsing tomorrow’s conversation, and torturing oneself for yesterday’s.

It is the emergence of cynicism, a probing of every thought and word and action.

12/31/57, “On Keeping a Journal”
Superficial to understand the journal as just a receptacle for one’s private, secret thoughts—like a confidante who is deaf, dumb, and illiterate. In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself. The journal is a vehicle for my sense of selfhood. It represents me as emotionally and spiritually independent. Therefore (alas) it does not simply record my actual, daily life but rather—in many cases—offers an alternative to it… . Why is writing important? Mainly, out of egotism, I suppose. Because I want to be that persona, a writer, and not because there is something I must say.
