looking back
writing in a journal is one of those things that helps one learn about oneself. looking back at things i
wrote. some only a month or two old. and now seeing the naiveté. realising the wisdom i have
learned since then. wisdom i might not have realised i acquired if i didnt write down my thoughts at a
time when i was younger, not now, understand? and this helps to realise how naive one still is. and
how naive one will always be. the older i may grow, the wiser one may get about certain things, but
there is still a world out there that one is a naïf child in. always the child, even when not. writing
helps me to realise this. curse your parents for being right with things you realise as you grow older.
but also realise that they were wrong at things too. things that they were just a child in because they
had never experienced
things the way you experience them. society. life. the world. constantly changes. and we have to
always re-learn everything we learned before. and yet.
