As many of you know I have been on the fence for the last two years on what to do with the four small bins of journals I have.

Do I keep them?
Do I toss them without reading them?
I can’t toss them without reading them, but if I die tomorrow I don’t want anyone reading them. I don’t know why I can’t toss them without reading them. It’s kinda silly.
I’ve decided to read two journals each week in 2021 starting tonight. I will read two journals and tear out the pages that speak to me and toss the rest.
This is the only way I can figure out how to deal it.
Here are the two journals I will be reading this week.

I hope this works.
Wish me luck!
Good luck!🍀

You know — I had that same problem and thought about journals I’d written some time ago. I didn’t really want anyone reading them either. I don’t think most of us want to share these very personal recordings. It feels like you’re betraying a friend, though, if you toss them. I had four — I read them all just like you. One I burned in a funeral pyre; one I buried deep in an industrial trash bin, and two are still sitting in my drawers. I think it’s time to read and let them go, too.

I’m still on the fence. Reading them will.take time and I’m not sure I want to take that time.
