With that said, I've been keeping a diary since I was in 7th grade. Since I started, I've gone through probably 6-7 journals, filling them up with my deepest thoughts and feelings. At first, I'd mostly write about what I did that day. As time went on, I graduated to writing reflections on a days events and even some streams of consciousness. Now, I write everything: goals, concerns, song lyrics, criticisms, bible verses, detailed memories, and self-reflections. You can learn a lot about yourself by keeping a diary. It's like keeping a memoir of your life while living it, and it's very rewarding to look back on. Not to mention, it's the one place where you can be completely, %100 percent selfish with your thoughts and attention.
My past 2 diaries have started circa the beginning of January with a list of New Years Resolutions and have ended with a reflection on my year; where I started vs. where I ended, and what I have to look forward to.
Below is a picture of my current diary. It started a little unconventionally, with a reflection of the past year instead of resolutions (though those are featured later and, embarrassingly, made known to some close friends). In this diary are some of my deepest secrets, surprising confessions, and fondest memories from the past year. NO, I am not going to make them public knowledge but I will share one small entry with you that will hopefully give you some insight to the non-existent 'About Me' portion of my blog: a quote from Diane Von Furstenberg:
"I didn't always know what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be."
