#diary writing

What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.

The rich colours of my writing desk and diary in the afternoon sun — a small moment from the weekend

[starcrossedandstupid]

Thinking about starting something diary adjacent. Writing notes/letters. But, I don’t know who I would address them to. It isn’t like towards an actual person, but I’m not writing to myself either, or a diary(I don’t love the Dear Diary format anyway)

Does anyone have any ideas??? Please lol

Neurodivergents writing a joke in their diary in brackets, and then drawing a winky face next to said joke - just so they can be sure the diary and any future re-reading self is aware it's a joke.

And then writing Joke in double brackets afterwards, just in case.

I bought a diary to figure out the problems in my life....

I started writing and then I realised that the only problem I did have was figuring which color diary I wanted...

All happy now

What's another year?

Que será, I'm ready to add twelve suspenseful and memorable chapters to my collected works entitled Life.

Happy New Year ... what will be? The future's not ours to see, but we are able to shape it in one way or another.

... thank you for inspiring me every day! ✨️

Diary Entry 12.2.2022

Long time no sees! I'm sorry for not writing everyday like I said I would. Life has been pretty hectic. I'll give you guys the run down.

Since my last post, I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with two girls. Crazy right? I confronted him about it, and he didn't really say anything. Not to be the one to use the word 'gaslight', but I am pretty sure that he gaslighted me. He tried to make it seem like I was overreacting. This happened before Thanksgiving. It was kind of sad, but it is what it is, and people come and go. I'll find someone better that can appreciate me.

After break, all that I have been doing is studying for my final exams. This is my first college exam, and I'm a little nervous. I have three papers that I need to write, and study very hard for my philosophy exam. I'm failing that class, with a 59%. i tried my hardest in this class, but sometimes things don't work out. But I'm hoping the extra credit will help bring my grade up. At this point, all that I can do is study and pray.

I applied for a job back in my hometown for winter break. I need a little bit of money before I come back down to college. So far nobody had contacted me back yet, but I'm going to apply for more today.

The final thing that I have done is go to therapy. I should have gone a long time ago, but my parents didn't support it, so now I'm going for free at my university. I'm going to be going consistently now to help me heal. I have tried healing on my own for years, but it feels like every step I take forward I always end up getting pushed ten steps back. I have an idea on things I need to work on and what order I should do that in. Yesterday, we talked about my first love, and how no matter how hard I try, I can never seem to get over him. I told her I tried everything to try and get over him but it doesn't work. My therapist (we will call her Bee), Bee suggested that a join a club or do something to occupy my mind. So now that is what I'm doing. I'm going to write a novel. I have a great idea for a novel. Eventually when I'm done with it, I'll send it to a publisher to see if I can get it published. I'm going to be very optimistic about this, because I think this could be a good thing.

Farewell,

-M

I just wrote in my diary, for the first time in a long time, and let me just say..it feels really cleansing to get everything out. This time, I will try to make it a daily routine.

[flowery-moth-angel]

I love taking care of kids honestly. Definitely don't have what it takes to be a mom, but I don't mind looking after kids for a bit. They warm my heart. I do wish I could be a mom honestly, but I just don't know if it'll ever happen. And I don't feel like I could be a good enough parent. I have a lot of issues and need a lot of care. As much as I'd love to be a mom, I just don't think it's right for me. Oh well. I can always end up taking care of kids in other ways. Not now, but maybe one day.

LINKTOBER Day 16: Lanayru Wetlands

Rumors have it Zora’s Domain is besieged by caustic rains. As travelers leave Lanayru’s capital in troves, two plucky (or foolish) adventurers swim against the muddy tide in hopes to learn more about the unnatural phenomenon.

Anyways, it’s raining mud? What’s up with that.
