On Keeping a Notebook
Inspired by a particular essay in Joan Didion’s “Slouching towards Bethlehem”, entitled “On Keeping a Notebook”. Having my stack of filled journals from over the years, Didion questions the point of keeping a notebook — finally writing, “Remember what it was to be me: that is always the point.” Looking back on past writings is always like revisiting another part of myself that I used to know.
