One A Day Journal Challenge

¨°¤««‡†Live life and take up space. Make your presence known, if only to prove that you were here†‡»»¤°¨ From today on out I'm going to be working towards establishing a routine of sitting down and free-form writing for at least 15 - 30 minutes in the journal here. My goal is a complete unobstructed stream of consciousness. From mind, through fingers, into text. A hypnotic state which I hope will eventually transform and evolve into a sort of direct tap into my subconscious and creative mind. Writing/typing seems to have this effect on me. The muscle memory is such that my conscious mind can't keep up, but often my subconscious will kick in and direct my motions. I'll often look up after typing an essay or some long response to someone and notice I had typed words I hadn't thought of, or that I omitted words I had wanted to include and often times I find that I had a sudden thought pop up in the back of my mind and accidentally typed that out instead.
See what I mean? About halfway through that block of text I started drifting into a semi-trance. I really enjoy these, it's the closest to meditation I can get to. But anyway. I'm going to try and do this once a day, starting today. I think the evenings are the best time after the day has passed and my mind has calmed enough to try to start digesting everything.
I'm going to be open and frank and want to allow myself complete honesty so if I say anything that you take offense to please feel free to let me know. If I say anything you know to be false then call me on it. I know I'm imperfect and I welcome outside viewpoints to help me hone and improve my internal perspective.
Sometimes I'll respond to comments and some times I won't, but for the most part I'll try to respond as best I can.
Thanks guys.
