“I’ve kept a journal, on and off, for about 6 years now. In those notebooks I was wholly uncensored. I never intended for anyone else to read them. This notebook is addressed to you, and written with your eyes in mind. And though I repeatedly strove for the same level of candor how was that possible when I knew all along that you were going to read it? Writing for an audience turns in into a form of performance art no matter ho guileless I claim — or even strive — to be. Can there ven be such a thing as an unmediated experience theses days? Every storyteller is biased, sure, and we both know I’ve been a bit of a show off for you (you want my stories? I’l give you some stories, buddy!) I didn’t try to create the illusion I’m a better or more compassionate person…”
