I've always had a hard time keeping a journal. I'll start and after a few weeks I just forget about it, lose interest, or both. I just don't have anything worth saying or I just repeat myself. If I do have something to say I feel weird writing in the journal after months of ignoring it. Maybe that's weird, but that's how I think.
I thought the entire way home about what I should use the notebook I got for. I had a thought and it was a good idea, but then I had a better one. I'm going to try to use it as a journal, but not just any journal. I'm going to try a song journal. See, music is kind of a big part of my life. I don't constantly listen to it, but I love it a lot. I don't like riding in the car without some good music. Even bad radio music is acceptable. Music, for me, is sometimes a way of release for various emotions. I almost always have a song stuck in my head. And sometimes, for whatever reason, I just have the urge to write down random song lyrics, whether they're mine or someone else's. I think that I could better convey random thoughts or emotions through a song than actually using my words. Does that make sense? *shrug* Even if it doesn't, I'm moving on.
I think that my super duper, awesomely amazing, notebook would be perfect for my song journal. Now the question is...what song do I use now? The funny thing is that it's all Lifehouse songs that I want to use and they're mostly on the same album...ha.
"I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what
I'm going to do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace"
