"I wanted to live on the outside, to see how it was to stay outside and never re-enter the cave of the interior life. I stayed outside, in cars, in buses, in planes, and never stopped to write in the diary. I did work on the novels," Anais says in this entry of her Diary.
Certainly, she is writing much less in the Diary these last three years than ever before. She has learned to drive, she tried skiing, she's had several trips to Mexico and several flights back and forth between Los Angeles (via San Francisco where her mother and brother live) and New York, she's had several bookshop parties to attend and shows to see (Tennessee Williams' The Rose Tattoo).
Has the lack of analyzing and interpreting her life by reflecting on it in the Diary been good for her? Is she happier now? Or is her life so full of activity that she has no time or energy to reflect on it?
