Prevailing Ritual


Prevailing Ritual is an ongoing, theme-based collection of journal entries, found and submitted.

Fears, obsessions, hopes, dreams, resentments, worries, hurts, plans, and burning anger. You’ve felt it. We’ve felt it. No shame in it.

January’s theme: fresh starts!

The Pain of Heartbreak Anonymous The Pain of Heartbreak Anonymous

January 16, 1943

Dave does’t like me anymore and I cried. He was here from 12 to 1. I don’t see why I’m always hurt.

Sat. classes. Trio practice at Corry’s. Triple trio are singing Invocations so we learned Prayer Perfect and Into Thy Loving Care. Went out with Dave, Phil & Mike—Yankee Doodle Dandy at Fargo. Ate at Grill. Cold. Dave does’t like me anymore and I cried. He was here from 12 to 1. I don’t see why I’m always hurt.
