I think your diaries have created something for you that most of us do not, and never will, have. A world of on-the-spot memories recorded and available for you to look back into.

Most of us lose most of that as time passes. And we're unaware of the loss - because we cannot remember what we've forgotten.

You will, I think, end up knowing yourself far, far better than any of us ever will. Is there an epiphany along that path? I have no idea. It is interesting to read your thoughts.

Thank you so much. Yes. From my earliest awareness I was paying attention. My mom's diaries got intruded upon and thus she protected for me what she didn't have. I didn't take that without awareness. Much was talked about when young... her mother... I lived with for a short while, trying to figure it out for myself. Honestly, my life didn't make sense or wasn't particularly easy because it was so different. I could tell I was sent in a direction that had caused many in prior decades and centuries certain rejection. All signs aligned plus my own internal desires so I couldn't not follow. Only in retrospect to discover how truly fortunate I was with how it all unfolded. Thank you for this feedback. The epiphany has definitely shown itself. What I will do with it still is in question!
