Do you re-read what you write? Or do you just write and forget about it? Are there particular things you write about that are most useful to go back and look at (Like, do you use it as a diary, and say what you did every day. Or do you write more emotional stuff?)

A blog? Like an online journal? I started a blog but an other came and deleted the account. Like all things, actually doing it is half the battle. I usually write stuff like what "I" think about a subject. Then an other might give their opinion in their own writing if they participate. It's really wild to see the contrast.
Our handwriting has pretty much evolved into close the same...chicken scratch. Back in school it was definetly distinct. I do most of the writing because the guys are like impossible to read, but mine doesn't look all that good anymore, especially on this iPad screen.
I hate re-reading what was written days later...it causes dissociation and switching. Whoever wrote it reads it which makes them present. It also gives a sickening gut feeling. It's so weird to see stuff we know we wrote, but yet like a stranger wrote it. It's easier to avoid reading it...like rereading old posts on here. I even have a hard time remembering things that I wrote...it's more of a feel thing when it comes to memory...and it usually doesn't feel good.
Some of us though is into that kind of thing....go figure.
