I use pink, blue, black, and green pens to update my entries.
Although I try to write it neatly and update my entry every day, it's hard for me to do that because my personality is not very consistent. Anyhow, out of nowhere, I suddenly had this curiosity of what happened on certain days in the past, and I would look through my diary to see if I wrote anything that happened on that day.
What did I do on Jan 7th? Or how did I spend my birthday?
Whenever these curiosities take over me, I would refer to my nicely organized diary entries like
“Ahhh so this is when I started exercising.”
Or “Oh yea! I was so busy on that day. Yup yup. “
Reading old diary entries makes me feel nostalgic; I even have a diary entry as old as April 27th of 2008.
Furthermore, as I read old diary entries, I can account what I did wrong, mistakes that I made, and things I accomplished.
It’s just a good reminder for me.
Overall, I think diary is meaningful. There are certain diary entries which have stuff that I don't want to remember because something bad happened or my mistakes were troublesome; however, reflecting on my past mistakes allow me to grow and become a better person.
So in a way, I guess I'm thankful.
Today was somehow just those typical days, nothing special happened.
But later when I read the diary entry, a day like today will become memories for me to reflect on in the future.
