You Should Be Writing In A Diary No Matter Who You Are

You're not "too old".

You Should Be Writing In A Diary No Matter Who You Are

Writing isn't exactly everybody's thing. However, writing about your day should be. The more adult version of a diary would be a "journal". Diary-keeping, journal-keeping, whatever you want to call it, should be in everyone's daily routine. You may ask why, but the answer is pretty obvious: it's good for you!

How exactly is keeping a diary good for you? It gives you a way to talk about your problems. We all have day-to-day problems, whether they're big or small. You shouldn't keep anything bottled up, no matter the issue. Telling someone about said problems may not always be the comfortable option. Although writing them out in a notebook of your choice can be. Essentially, you would write in a diary everyday. Not everyone has time for that or remembers. If you do remember, though, make sure you do it! It has the potential to make you feel so much better. It's a great way to end the night, or maybe even start your morning.

You can pretty much keep whatever you want in it. Maybe it's gossip, what you ate today, or something about your significant other. You don't only have to write your problems in it. It's, honestly, whatever you want! You can even look back at older entries to see how you were feeling a certain day. They are more than just something you write your thoughts in, they're also just a lot of fun!

It may seem quite childish. Keeping a diary is totally a elementary school girl thing. Except, it's really not! I suppose "keeping a diary" is a little off putting for some people. However, that's what it is! I know that's what I call mine. If you want to call it "journaling" then so be it! We are all different and prefer certain things. Something we all have in common though are thoughts, thoughts that need to be shared with another person or yourself.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
