I have been writing in a journal on an almost-daily basis since I was 17 years old. This is a record of me going through each entry from the beginning, and commenting on the me from fifteen years ago.

My biggest fear is that I can’t write anymore. I think I might be good, but I lose my discipline every so often. I love to write, but when I take these extended hiatus I wonder if I’ll remember how to write like I used to.

This fear is still present inside me, but it’s very slight. I’m not obsessed with becoming world renowned for my writing like I used to be. I still worry I’ll lose something if I don’t stay in practice. This whole thing is some kind of practice, I guess.
