#diary writing

[betsy-the-eclectic-reader]

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

Diary Entry 1.6.2023

Well, I haven't been posting like I wanted to. A lot has been going on since I last posted. I had someone very close to me die suddenly. Not only that, but he also died during finals week. I had drama with his death all the way up till his funeral. Nothing major, just family things. The only upside is that I did pass all my finals. My GPA isn't what i wanted it to be, but it's the best I ever got in a first quarter, and my grades will only go up from there. I also managed to quit vaping. Right now, I'm 5 days sober, which is awesome. I always knew I could do it, but it's just having the strength to do so.

Going back to the death I had recently. Ever since that person close to me has died, I feel like I have the strength to do anything I want to do. Thats why I quit vaping. A part of me had just became disgusted towards it, and I couldn't smoke it anymore without wanting to gag. I never had that happen to me before. Has anyone else experienced what I'm describing? It doesn't have to be with vaping, it could be with anything. For some reason too, I'm getting the urge to write more. Sometimes I feel like it's him pushing me to do what I'm meant to do.

I know this was a lot to digest in one post, but I had to give a little update. He died on December 6. I don't want to say who it was, because I feel like it would give too much away about who I am. I just want anyone to know that dealing with death isn't easy and if anyone needs to talk my messages are always open. Especially during the holiday season, it can be rough.

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.

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.

reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work

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.

Journaling prompts to reinvent yourself ౨ৎ

how do I want the world to see me, and does it match how I see myself?

how do I show up for others, and how do they show up for me?

what about my life feels like love and what doesn't?

where does my time go, and where do I wish it would go?

who do I admire most, and what about them speaks to my soul?

is the way I live aligned with the life I dream of, or a I just coasting?

what qualities in others feel the most magnetic to me? Do I reflect those?

what’s inside my bag, and what does it say about me? (be honest, even the gum wrappers count.)

if I could script my perfect morning, how would it begin?

what passions have I ignored that I would like to reclaim?

what’s one small, powerful shift I could make today to move toward my dream life?

write a tender letter to the future version of yourself. What do you hope they’ve become, and what do you want them to remember about now?

As always, please feel free to share your own prompts and check out my insta for more of me! <3
