Beautiful, really enjoyed the read.

My favourite line: "the need to press ourselves through ink and charcoal into paper, to figure out who we are, to talk to ourselves as the protagonists of our own story, to make our goals untouchable scriptures for eternal reference."

Disappointingly, I never kept a diary as a kid. I wish I had. I've barely kept one as an adult. I changed that at the start of this year, where I've been writing morning notes every day. It's been an amazing thing (a personal thing that I probably wouldn't even want my wife reading, not that there's anything bad but just that sense that this is my own inner world on the page), but I'm left wishing and questioning why I've left it until I'm 40!
