I wonder how much my diary shows my thoughts. Very little I am sure. I find this thing that I am not quite willing to be frank with myself. This book contains the things I love, the external things. Thought changes so rapidly that as I look back over some expressed in this diary I must laugh. I think too that too much personal feeling in this book might lead towards introspection.
