what is it

From my knowledge of how to write in a journal, I'm apparently supposed to document certain things that are happening or existing around me. For instance, my mood, what i'm drinking, what i'm listening to. 5 senses apply to all of us, and (let's be honest) I don't think everybody wants to know how i feel most of the time.

sight
sound
touch
taste
smell

These are elemental in the way that everyone can relate to the sight of a bright day, the sound of a busy room, the feel of wind, the taste of ... well, i guess the reader has to use their imagination on that one for whenever i'm actively tasting the residue of spit in my mouth after smoking ... and smell of... wow, also pretty vague. Unless you call fresh-vaccuumed carpet and prefab furniture vague, and that's what i'm smellin

The unfortunate end of 5 senses is losing momentum. If i'm eager to write, then stopping to smell the pavement will exactly slow me down.

Maybe I'm too ADD to do anything with my life.
Maybe I'll never find reward.
