A Deep Look Into My Journal Called “Acute Notebook”

Acute- "characterized by sharpness or severity of sudden onset."

A Deep Look Into My Journal Called “Acute Notebook”

Awhile ago, I bought myself a cute little journal. It's a velvety/wine-red little journal with geometrical figures and a maroon almost-gold-looking lettering that reads "Acute Notebook."

Although the name alluded to a geometrical pun, I took the name to an entire different place. Before, I'd had a black journal where I jut down story ideas or your occasional depressing poem.

So I thought hard what would I want to write in this journal exactly? Acute is defined as in the Merriam-Webster dictionary app that I have on my phone: "characterized by sharpness or severity of sudden onset." And with synonyms such as blistering and exquisite, fearsome and frightful, or almighty and vicious, I got the idea to write incongruent thoughts that may or may not be linked to each other. And which fluctuate in the severity or seriousness of each word added in there.

To be fairly honest, this is just me attempting to writing in voices I rarely acknowledge as a writer, but in doing so, I get to find so many new things about me or the world.

Here is an entry dated back to 5/29/2019, titled “Godly." And if I'm not wrong this was just me daydreaming in class about mythical creatures in my Classics class last quarter haha.

“Since this is my little journal, I can say whatever I want without judgement. If you read and disagree — that's fine. Everybody has different idealism. Mine are perharps a bit twisted, but — like I said — they're mine.

So here's what I think:

I am a God. Call it blasphemy. But I am a God.

I am the God of of my world. I am the God of my reality. I see the world through my eyes; therefore, it belongs to me. In my world, I decide what to do. Where to go.

Besides a God. I am a dragon. A calamity.

I am an otherworldly force of nature. I have a crackling fiery core wrapped around my heart. Flames accompany my every moves. and a fire so strong comes out of my mouth. I am a living made of fire."

To be sincere, I am mostly amazed by the way I think. Sometimes I wonder if I should return seeing a therapist or not.

This is me telling myself that I can do anything when things begin to become difficult.

This is me trying to stay resilient.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
