Catharsis Vs. Narcissism

What's the purpose of all this? I'm sure some of it is simple catharsis. Sure, it just feels good to _purge_ And sure, some part of it must be narcissism. Why else, right?

But looking deeper, I realize that some of the point here is exactly that:

wanting to look deeper.

It's so easy just to spew your mental contents to a Facebook note and walk away.

But these are on file for me. I want to write them, and keep writing them. I want to look deeper, and I want to come back later and look at my own scribblings.
