Tell me what's the difference

Letters of the condemned. Last words scratched on a cell’s wall. To write like that.

Where your pain is, there your heart lies also.

Writing down your thoughts is both necessary and harmful. It leads to eccentricity, narcissism, preserves what should be let go. On the other hand, these notes intensify the inner life, which, left unexpressed, slips through your fingers. If only I could find a better kind of journal, humbler, one that would preserve the same thoughts, the same flesh of life, which is worth saving.

Tell me what's the difference

There are things better left untouched by words.

I write in order to comprehend, not to express myself.
