From the Private Journal of XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (Name Redacted).
Dated only by year, not month: 1979.
The two of you suggested journaling;
Thought it might help me.
... And who knows?
Perhaps it will;
Worth a try.
So let's get to it, then:
They say in the beginning, there was only darkness.
And I'm living proof that's true;
Because when I try to recall the beginning ...
All I see is
Black.
And it's a thick, unending sea;
The type that if you allow your thoughts to dwell upon it too long ...
Will drown you.
It will drive you to madness.
The profound, extending between me and the horizon line;
Fanning out in every possible direction from the rocky shore on which I stand.
The type of ocean you know is deep -
Unfathomably deep -
The type where secrets lie,
And forgotten truths remain hidden.
Perhaps, if I were brave enough to venture fully there ...
I'd throw myself in;
Allow myself to sit with the darkness,
In the darkness.
And in doing so,
Perhaps I could learn the type of man I really am.
What it means to be me.
My name -
My past -
I could learn so many things.
... But I am afraid
And as I sit here, writing this now ...
It hits me full on:
I know nothing.
