Hello. My name is Josh Kelly.
This is what I call "My Public Private Journal". It is my attempt at doing something new. It is a bit of a social experiment, and it's a huge part of who I am.
I wanted to see what it would be like if one's thoughts were known to anybody who wanted to read them. What would happen if you were completely honest? What would it be like if you let the world know how you truly felt? Well, for some time now, I've been finding out.
You find a person that is real. You find out what he believes and how he thinks. You learn who he is. You might be able to understand him. You may relate to his joys and his struggles.
Throughout the course of his project, I've found people just like me. I've learned that I'm not alone. I've been given the opportunity to help people. Some people find encouragement in who I am and what I do. They need to hear that there are other people like them, and hearing that encourages me too.
When someone is as raw and transparent as they are in their personal journal, making it public is bound to be interesting. I've had some mixed emotions about how it's been received. Some people don't like it. It also has the potential to create awkward moments with friends. But as long as I need it, and it's helping at least one person, I plan to continue.
Below is a video explaining it a little bit more before it was launched.
