What stories could journals tell? What we forget is that they are not just repositories of words but also of thoughts, feelings, emotions They are places in and of themselves Saving these emotions, stashing them away so they can be discovered at a later time. But the true beauty of these journals lies within discovery itself A droplet of water will fall further down a curved surface taking a pale tan color like its surroundings It will fall off the surface Onto the fibers of the page below Leaving a darkened splotch More droplets will follow More tears will follow As twenty years from now A thirty-five year old woman rediscovers the girl she once was.

Inspired by a single word within a Facebook chat. Thanks, Lacey.
