This symmetrical composition - the same motif appears at the beginning and at the end - may seem quite "novelistic" to you, and I am willing to agree, but only on condition that you refrain from reading such notions as "fictive," "fabricated," and "untrue to life" in the word "novelistic." Because human lives are composed in precisely such a fashion.

They are composed like music. Guided by his sense of beauty, an individual transforms a fortuitous occurrence... into a motif, which then assumes a permanent place in the composition of the individual's life... Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.

It is wrong, then, to chide the novel for being fascinated by mysterious coincidences... but it is right to chide man for being blind to such coincidences in his daily life. For he thereby deprives his life of a dimension of beauty. - Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

My main journal is volvita. That's where I record my day-to-day goings on. It is largely for my friends. This is a journal for me. It is writing practice, ponderings, memories, daydreams, observations... Whatever I feel like saying.

Disclaimer: In this journal I will, to the greatest extent possible, write without censoring myself. I may deal frankly with sex. I may write emotionally about former lovers, which should by no means be construed as dissatisfaction with my current boyfriend. I am plumbing the depths of my experience, and anything is fair game. The only restriction I will place on myself is that I will attempt to respect the privacy of people I write about.

If you'd like to friend me, please do. But I'm warning you, I may post frequently about things that you have absolutely no interest in. I'm not writing to entertain people or make friends. I'm writing for myself, and you can watch if you like.
