Yui is so cute.
I used to keep a physical diary in high school and filled up the entire thing. I kept ideas and musings in it, and whenever I took notes on a book I put them in there. But I got rid of it because I suspected my parents might have been reading it. I started keeping digital notes last year, and I have about 40,000 words of notes now probably. Every time I have an idea I write it down and have a policy of never deleting anything. I don't really write down my personal thoughts and emotions anymore, since I have friends to talk to now.

I kept a diary for a while, but the entries were rather lame.

some entries:

>7/24/2020
>Today was a good day.

>7/30/2020
>Today was a good day. Tomorrow is a big day, hope it goes well.

>8/7/2020
>Today was a good day. (I forgot to write my diary entry yesterday!)

>9/2/2020
>Today was a good day.

I am confused. Did you not like my diary

[Anonymous No.18850980]

>>18850788
Not a diary, but I do religiously write whatever comes to mind in a notebook before bed. Sometimes I'll stay up writing a ton, sometimes only a line or two. Plans and goals, story/character ideas and outlines, fears/traumas I haven't got over, schitzo ramblings, working through logic and ideas. I hardly every write directly about the events of the day. I burn finished notebooks after reviewing them and extracting what gems I want to keep.

went to breakfast on my own. didnt even try to reach anybody. no one would come anyway. i think i tried my mom but her phone was off. then i went to schänzle read and fell asleep in the sun. it was the hottest day so far this year. went back to tris place and played surge til 6pm. then i went to bismarck turm and read watched the sunset. then i called tris and met them at the boat and we went to the boat restaurant. unfortunately kitchen was closed aready and we only got salads.

one thought i had all day is that i am less and less connected with any type of purpose. i just exist i dont really live and share time with others. especially with my family. i could be on another continent and things would be exactly the same. manu is in xlingen with some whore, leon is in steckborn smoking weed. my dad is alone in xlingen and my mom is alone in kn. zero connection. no family dinners, no breakfast. zero get togethers. wtf am i even doing here. i tired of running after these people trying to have a family relationship with them. its not happening. you either sacrfice yourself for your family or you sacrfice your family for yourself. thats what my mom did. and it was a burning crater ever since. not even burning anymore, just a crater with nothing left. i am tired of wandering in that crater.

there is nothing left for me here in germany. i know i have been saying this for a long time but the realization keeps going deeper and deeper.

I used to do this too, I found it extremely productive. I should start again.

i keep one, but only write on it when i absolutely have to. it's more of a way of coping than a writing exercise.
during my breakdown period some of the entries ran from 800 words to above. i don't like reading them

[Anonymous No.18853795]

I've kept a diary since August last year and write every day now in it. My life isn't exciting, but I often write as many of the trivial details of my life in it that I can. Dreams, thoughts, what I watch or read and my thoughts on them, family stuff, work stuff, how often I wank or have diarrhea or order takeaway or get drunk, everything. It started because I started to take anti-depressants and I wanted a measure of their effects. Then it just became a habit to write in it all the time. My entries are often very long as I write in it throughout the day. It's been a very good thing for me and I wish I had started when I was young.

The program I use is Standard Notes and it is simple and nice and I can sync it with my phone so I can write anywhere and it all backs up to .txt files which is what I used previously anyway.

I have an online diary. Some people are reading me, some from my friends or family, and some people that I don't even know.

How are you supposed to write your inner thoughts when people close to you read them?

[Anonymous No.18854629]

Yes, but I'm horrible at jeep up with it. Haven't written in in months

Well I used to write everything but since I know some relatives are reading I can't write everything I want. I'm too shy to write about sex now.

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of a diary? Writing with an audience in mind changes your writing and thinking.

[Anonymous No.18855731]

I'm surprised there aren't more diary writers. I would expect this to be a normal thing for a litizen.

[Anonymous No.18855747]

pretty much everyday, its mostly to do with my emotions and not so much retelling what i did during the day. i think a lot of it is kinda the same shit - general anxieties and relationship issues. i do like looking back at the diary entries a few years ago and comparing to them now - i do think my writing has gotten better at least.

I do it every few months but I keep writing the same shit

[Anonymous No.18855910]

>>18855901
Even if you did the exact same thing every day I don't see how you could write the exact same shit unless you wanted to. Your thoughts change moment to moment. Not to mention you are on /lit/ so you should be reading and writing about your experience with those books.

I've kept one for the past six years. Last time I estimated, it's over 2500 pages. It's pretty terrible because I live a dull and unhappy life, and it has many gaps of even a month or more, but it's still my only piece of writing I'm somewhat proud of.
