"Mostly [the letters I sent home from Vietnam] reminded me of what a poseur I could be.
Q: Did you remember these poses?
Not as vividly as the letters recalled them to me. You know, that might be another good reason not to keep a journal—not to have to go back and encounter all these versions of oneself that one has tried to create over the years. And that could also be a good reason to do it—as an antidote to one’s current temptations to pretense."
