New Journal

Yesterday, I informed Master that I was almost done in my current hand written slave journal. I have been keeping a hand written journal since August of 2003. This new one is my 32nd slave journal. I used to keep them in general notebooks, but soon that was getting to expensive. One notebook a month, then after four months buying a binder to keep them all in, so that they would be organized. Master came up with idea of getting actual journals from like Barnes and Noble. This last one (the 31st one) has lasted since March 21st to yesterday. It is much more organized this way and a lot easier... not having to buy a new journal once a month.

This may sound odd, but I always find an odd sort of joy out of getting a new journal to start. Like yesterday, Master took me to Barnes and Noble and He let me pick out a new journal. Once we got home I couldn't wait to take it out of the shrink wrap and put my name on it, and the number in the "slave journal series" on the inside cover. It sounds stupid to most I'm sure, but it's true. It's not quite like starting a new chapter in my life... and at times I think of how I will have to destroy them before I die. They are not something I want my family to stumble upon. And with that knowledge comes a certain sadness. I have put a lot of effort into them. Yes, it's just simply writing down the daily events, my thoughts and feelings. But it is still effort, and a lot of me goes into them. But I suppose everyone feels that way when they keep a journal.
