I feel like journaling, or at least online diarying was easier when I was younger. It was easier because I didn’t know what the fuck was going on. So I had that sense of wonder, questioning shit, positing stuff. Sometimes I’d just say things for the sake of it. But whether it was something personal or something philosophical, I felt like I needed to explain myself.
That is, I would pause and try to back myself up in explanation. It taught me how to be a better writer. Don’t posit wild shit unless you can back it up.
These days, I’m just too lazy. I could posit that Donald Trump should go kill myself. I’ve come to understand that people will just take you at your word. But back in the day, I’d go out of my way to explain WHY Donald Trump should go kill himself.
Oh sure, I still could.
I just don’t care most of the time.
I could also posit that the explanations were more for my benefit than anyone else’s. But I’m also too lazy to back that up, too.
