myurbandreamThis journal is called "Scribbles in the Dark" because I mostly write at night. I'm lying in bed thinking to myself how tired and burnt out I feel, and I'm reminded of the curse: "May you live in interesting times."
Who cursed me and my generation like that?
I started journalling as a kid, hand written journals in spiral notebooks that I still have to this day, after reading the diary of Anne Frank while I was living in reunified Germany in the 90s. We went to the museum there in Germany and learned all about her life and my family visited preserved concentration camps and memorials too. As a kid I thought how fascinating it would be to have one's thoughts become history, a first hand account of historic events. It inspired me to start journalling, but I don't think I ever believed that would happen to me. I stopped keeping my journal sometime during high school; I became much more social than I ever had been before, much busier, and yet my life seemed mundane, from a historic standpoint.
Well, we are living through historic times now, that's for sure. I guess I had better start journalling again.
