What inane intricacies of life! How seriously people take themselves.
Hahaha, I was on LiveJournal today (bored mindless) and reading, with a kind of voyeuristic pleasure, how people meticulously record their day-to-day lives. This in itself is not bad if it is for such self-serving purposes as deciphering events and emotions, improving writing, recording thoughts for later perusal, but to slave over every detail for the approval of somebody else - that should not do. Writing should be for the improvement (and approval) of self, always. Writing is so highly personal, I feel, one of the ultimate forms of self-expression and satisfaction. Be completely honest with yourself as you write, no matter how hard the struggle (and it is hard) because it makes writing all the more worthwhile.
Silly people, discuss your day-to-day lives if you must, simply do it for yourself and be damned if anyone reads it or likes it or cares even enough to disagree!
