I can't be going to twitter every time I got something to say. Life can't be expressed in 140 character spurts. It leaves absolutely no room for reflections with substance and meaning. A journal entry, on the other hand, can be as short or as long as I need it to be... and I can say what's on my mind without it being cryptic. Here, my thoughts are free-flowing and unrestricted. The emotions to which I hold on tightly are released. My voice is heard, if only by an empty room. I write for myself, my own benefit, because it's the only way I will learn. It's the only way to sort my thoughts and feelings and discover who I am.
