reading sylvia's journals makes me wonder why it is that I've never kept a regular private diary. everything i write is public in one way or another. but even before the internet i never wrote for myself. everything was a story. i still have most of it, i have a drawerful of old scrawlings and printouts of long deleted files. i keep everything. maybe i learned that nothing is private. ever. the only real secrets are the ones we keep even from ourselves, they dissolve when they're written down or acknowledged, sometimes they dissolve into an acid that eats away at everything. but nothing is really private. and it's those things that were the most private that we wish had survived, for all to see...
