as enticing and sexy and habitual as blogs may be

they will never take the place of journals.

of paper and paste

photos and paint.

they will not be sent by post, 12 years later,

to be opened and examined and exclaimed upon

again...









do keep a journal



it will show you where you went



and where you didn't go



the adventures



and the misadventures




it will be a place

where all your

angels sleep
