I’ve been journaling since third grade and have almost all the notebooks I ever used—the ones that went missing still haunt me, sometimes literally in dreams. I’ve never been any good at curating what’s allowed to stay and what isn’t when it comes to journals. Maybe I need archivist training!
I feel like journals might be one of those "keep 'em all or burn them all" kind of things! I'm a keep 'em all kind of person. The curation is around all the other stuff for me-- ticket stubs, old notebooks from classes I didn't even like...
I’ve been thinking of myself as an archivist in the keeping sense, but I live thinking about being one in the storytelling sense-what would someone (maybe me) make of the artifacts if my life?!
I have a few of those black boxes too!!! So special. I love boxes. My whole life is a big archive. Ok maybe I am really just a carefully curating hoarder but seriously so much deserves a museum of some kind. I decided to call myself an assemblage artist weaving it all together with words.
