Was just talking to ze bf last night about how much I don't want to go back (to Brisbane, where I'm one semester into my MArch), because I'd be all alone and have noone to talk to especially in my house.. He suggested writing it all in a diary. And I am reminded that I still have one of those, although I have not been writing much because I cry every time I try to face my feelings. Maybe if I let off a little emotion each day..
Came across this short article in my bookmarks, and although I'm still mostly a written word kind of person, it fits my idea of keeping a diary these days. I love writing letters as a way of avoiding conflict, or to say things that are too mushy to say out loud, I love writing just for the sake of seeing words on paper, and I sometimes sketch things that only I understand, but could not be expressed in words. But most of all, her guide reaffirms the fact that a diary reminiscent of my primary school diaries that says "Today I did.. I ate.." takes up way too much time and is harder to maintain.
