What I'm more aware of, is that regardless of my actions, the thought is forgotten. Basically, what I'm trying to say, as awkwardly as it's coming out, is that I don't remember what I've written. Since the moment I started writing in my journals, in my Facebook notes, and on here, in my online blogs, I've discovered a lot about myself and have been able to get a lot of stress out. But if you were to ask me what I wrote, I couldn't really tell you. I have vague, generalized ideas of what I've written and what I've talked about in my writings.
The reason I write about this - any time I think of someone reading what I have wrote, I worry that I've recorded some thought or bit of my personality at the time, some issue I may have had at that moment, but not now. I've changed over the past few years, and I'm sure that's apparent from my writings.
As much as I know about myself, there's a lot I don't know to this day. There's a lot to understand and analyze about myself.
I suppose that leads to my idea of writing a book about my life and video games. The idea came to mind in this way:
Summer's started, I'm back home from college, and now I spend most of my days sleeping and playing video games at home. I happened to be playing WoW, which sucks up a lot of my time in the day, and realized how little I was getting accomplished. I thought about all the things I should, and could, be doing. Then writing came to mind. I used to write a lot more than I do now, or at least more occasionally. So I thought I should start writing, or more specifically, start writing a book. I didn't have to think too long before an idea came to mind - write about my experience and influence from video games that spans my lifetime. I've been exposed to and playing video games since I was three years old, beginning with the classic Gameboy Color. Before I digress - I would continue the book with an explanation of what games I was exposed to, and then attempt to analyze and see how these games influenced me and my development, perhaps even my intelligence and social life, and contemplate how my life might have been different. The book would ultimately be an autobiography, but it would be worthwhile for others to read for the mere fact that I'm analyzing the life of a child who grew up with video games, and in our society, that describes a lot of children.
I imagine this book wouldn't be too difficult to write. I feel like I could easily record pages upon pages each day, so the only difficulty or actually work to be done would be editing (and perhaps some other input from my friends. Brianne, another great mind interested in psychology and related matters, could add some valuable input to my book).
With that being said, I hope to get started soon!
