No More Journals (An Essay)

well...

a couple hundred journals of mine

spanning over 25 years

have now left the building

i just watched them get picked up

get compressed

and taken away

along with the stories

the past

the process

the pain

(and whatever else those treasures contained)

no ritual went along with this task

no tears have been shed (as of yet)

just a decision tonight

to lighten the load

and this post to say farewell
