There is a project that I’ve been thinking about…
I’ve been compulsively journaling for roughly 6 years now. The journals are filled with an array of ideas, images, text - but the majority focuses on my own issues with stress, anxiety. At 27, still journaling on a daily basis, as I look back and read what I’ve recorded over the years, I’m still plagued by the same, almost child-like anxieties of my youth. I have for a long time neglected to read these journals, seeing that in many ways, I felt like the journals themselves, or simply the act of writing these ideas down justified them rather than cleared them up - or at least would allow me an active place or an idea to create change.
I’m ready to look at them now. I think that in typing all of these journal entries out, from the beginning - and even in some cases, amending the entries or discussing the events that were taking place at that given time, would really help me actively look and rationalize my own relationship and issues to stress, time, accomplishment, money and the future.
every day, I’m going to simply write the date of the entry and type out that day in full. Simple as that.
I’m afraid.

WORD OF 2012
A good friend, Donald Burke, mentioned that he associates a word with each new year. I like this concept as it gives me something to constantly keep in the front of my mind.
WORD OF 2012: DRAFT
Draft signifies working towards a polished or more coherent end-point. refining, progressing without fear.
