few days ago i threw away nearly all my old writings including my diaries coz i didn't find they were special...yea, i read them all over and they seemed very typical...ordinary...not worth keeping.
i had to think a bit more about my diaries before getting rid of them..coz they r my memories after all... but thought maybe i don't want those memories...maybe i'll just make better ones and maybe those new ones will inspire me to write better ... maybe later there'll be thoughts worth thinking.
P.S. my results are out and i've passed!!!!!
This is an ongoing issue with me...to dispose of old diaries or not dispose of old diaries. I just can't bring myself to do it. My handwriting has changed, my style has changed, my interests...it's only been 12 years since the first time I’ve ever decided to vent on paper and I enjoy looking through them immensely! Imagine how fun it will be when I’m an old geezer! My grandpa allah yer7amo had stacks upon stacks of journals, he showed me some of them before he passed on. They covered the war, him getting in trouble in school, falling in love with my grandma…the really old ones were all written in “kobya”…those things are priceless! I say keep your old diaries (assuming you haven’t thrown them away already)
