Keeping a Journal of Secrets

I believe writing in such a beautiful journal will encourage me to write beautiful words.

Though I think I'll save these words for myself. It's so easy with technology like Facebook to not have any secrets. We have the ability to broadcast all of our thoughts and activities. But I'm getting off the subject.

I want to talk about words, and thoughts and your public/private life.

What is a secret ? A secret is something that you share with no one. So many of us have no secrets left. Keeping information from one person but sharing it with others is not a secret.

Secrets can feel almost magical. Well, at least the good secrets. And those are the kind I'm talking about.

People will wonder what's inside. But they will never know, no way. Even if they ply me with drinks and sex lol.

Don't get me wrong, FB/email is a wonderful way of being able to share with so many of friends in far away places. It keeps me sane when I'm on the road.

But I think we ought to hold some things back just for ourselves. Have some thoughts you tell no one. Go on an adventure and don't tell anyone.

Having secrets adds depth to your character, depth that you won't appreciate until you've kept some secrets to yourself for awhile. I love the idea of having a beautiful journal. But this journal will be just for secrets.

Sharing a secret is magical too. But after then, the magic is gone. This may be a controversial topic for some of y'all.

I know all of you have had a magical experience. Maybe it was while exercising or exploring or maybe just sitting still and thinking. Whatever your magical experience was, you cannot adequately share it through such crude mediums as speach or writing. To attempt to tell someone what it was like can only damage your memory of the experience. But to keep the experience to yourself is to keep the magic alive.
Also, if we are all connected, as some people believe, there's no point in telling everyone about your experiences.

Other people would understand without trying to inform them with something so crude as language. Somethings simply must be experienced to be appreciated. Perhaps much of the problem with our world is people thinking they can understand without experiencing first hand.Maybe the answer must be some secrets we give away and some we keep for ourselves. In any case we must have them to begin with.

Here's to getting out into the world and living first hand and creating more secrets for yourself!
