Diary Page No. 1

Dear Diary,

I knew when I started this blog a few days ago that people I knew were going to see it and read my work, I had placed the link on my Instagram and LinkedIn (I'm not sure why I did that one...) and so obviously people would see it. But I hadn't realised how personal I viewed my work to be until I saw the views rack up under the posts. 

I think I forget that a lot of my writing is inspired by my life, especially my work from high school (2019-2023). Although high school itself was bearable, the addition of the pandemic made life so awfully difficult. I often speak to others on the topic and they reminisce on how 'lovely' life was for them and how content they were to be left to their own devices. Literally and figuratively. But all I remember from that time was how I had fallen into bad habits and what an awful person I was. I'm a far better person now and I've overcome those very habits but sometimes reading things I wrote from back then or seeing old pictures from that time make me spiral a bit and I lose focus momentarily. And now putting a lot of that emotion, from what I've written, online for others to see is proving to be a bit overwhelming. 

But that's a small issue, I have an end goal in mind so I'll probably push forward and end up bearing my heart and soul on this blog. 

Thank you for reading my gibberish ;)
