Wrecked End

This is the official end of Wreck This Journal. It isn't the end of my journey with it though.

The last couple of weeks I havn't spent as much time on it, other things have been calling me. The journal is still on my desk though. There are things I have done and not scanned, not shared. There are more things to do that I have planned in my head.

I may do them, I may not.

Other things are stirring... I have started writing. Not since a child have I done this.

I think my beginning of WTJ was the thing I learnt the most from.

I learnt nothing is ever so broke it can't be made beautiful.

I learnt I am far braver and have far more gusto than I give myself credit for. Maybe I don't actually creep passively through life. Maybe I have forgotten all the tough decisions, the wild changes. Maybe just because I don't wish to turn my life on it's head right now, doesn't mean I have become passive, weak and cowardly.... I am just making different choices right now.

Art is play and play is art. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you let yourself out to play regularly....

    Yes, I totally agree with the "art is play" thought. It really is! And only to get this back into my mind, it's really worth doing it!

    So bye, Wrecking Sister, I hope we stay in touch! :)

    Art sure is play. Sometimes as we get older I think we forget how to play enough. This experience has brought out the child in me again. Keep on wrecking!

    "I learnt nothing is ever so broke it can't be made beautiful."

    I love this! You are so right, and what an empowering and wonderful thing to find out.

    Congrats on finding your writer self. What magic has come out of this silly little book!

    Wonderful lesson to take from here.

    How wonderful that you have re-discovered one of your childhood loves - writing.

    And how true your statement is - Art IS play and play IS art.

    My journal is as yet unfinished as well because I'm off now doing other creative things. But, it's sitting on the table waiting to play...

    How wonderful that you learned that you are braver, more outgoing than you imagined yourself go be. I've loved this journal for those reasons and many more :) It's real nice to meet you!
