Journal
I've made some decisions about this journal. It's going to be very personal. Therefore, I'm not going to tell any of my friends or relatives about it. That would have unforeseen, potentially negative consequences. And since I'm not going to share it with them, I intend to begin using real names in my journal, as my last update suggests. The reason for discontinuing the use of vague pronouns is that I will look at this journal myself sometime in the future. When I read it, I don't want to get confused and lost with my own vague references. My memory does not seem to be the greatest aspect of my intelligence. Furthermore, the decision to use real names will reinforce my decision to keep this journal private from people that know me. There's no turning back. The resultant privacy will also foster the frequency of updates that contain more personal thoughts, the private reflections that you are too embarrassed or afraid to tell another human being for fear of judgment or rejection. Let's just hope that I don't leave this journal open by accident one day and get sued for libel or something. :)
