You write "excruciatingly boring." I see integrated art. I purged my old journals and calendars when I moved into the RV. I love buying textural journals more than I like writing in them.

it was the "excruciatingly boring" that inspired the doodle art - necessity truly is the mother of invention! If the professor had been dynamic in her teaching, I would have had no need for focused distraction. LOL

I remember your pre-RV purge (I think I still have some of your anatomy binders hahaha). Did you re-read from your journals when you had them? Was it easy to let them go? Did you perform a ritual when you released them? These are things I must know! LOL

Your tactile tendencies are iconic! Collect those textural journals!!! Love that!

My journals are sacred. I do reread them, at times. Recently, I’ve used one of my journals to convert it into a manuscript (of sorts). My journals have shown me growth and have proven to me time after time, I’m actually not crazy. Cool tattoo. Great post.

I would pay to read your journals!! When the manuscript is made into a book (or movie ;-) I will be the first in line and will promote it loud in my tiny world. Jordy, thank you for showing up here and for your open book approach to this crazy life! (You may not actually be crazy, but this world seems to be! LOL) Much love old friend!
