The polarity between the sensational and the mundane is also the dichotomy between the sensational and the sensory in which the latter is left unmarked, unvoiced and unattended to, as a banal element of the everyday.

dear diary

dear diary

it is getting harder to write in a diary. to a certain extent, people are more willing to share personal thoughts, emotions, with strangers. with friends. twitter. facebook. blogs. postsecrets. it takes an extra effort to discern between that is really, really a secret or a 'truest' feeling, 'authentic' enough to be written into a diary. more layers to the self. most of which are lost and owned by the world wide web. are we really getting more open? or just less layered?
