I wanted to start writing in my Marina Vaptzarova journal from La Vie the minute I acquired it but as usual, I didn’t want to spoil it so I waited for the right moment. India was most definitely that moment. There’s something about recording your emotions on paper after experiencing something great and beautiful that is almost an extension of the experience itself.
Every night, whilst the train was moving, I sat on my bed and jotted down my reflections and musings. The beautiful thing about writing on actual paper is that there’s no erase button, this means you end up thinking and reflecting on what you; re going to write before writing it. You are forced to reflect a little and gather your thoughts together, think about what conclusions you’ve drawn from the day that just passed before beginning to write.
