Even as a little girl, I never really wrote in a journal...But that didn't mean I never wrote at all. I used to write every day of my life, and heck, I still do. Even though now it's not so much stories, songs, poems and stuff like that anymore.. It's close enough. It's my feelings. It always is. And another reason I never kept a diary was because when I had emotions overflowing I'd write a letter. To them, or to myself. Not many got those letters - most landing themselves into the trash - but it helped. There are things we need to get out of our system, and things like that can't always be told to the person that you want to say them to. For whatever reason that is.

This is a place to write to whomever you want to without them seeing or knowing who it is for. For example you can put, Dear Diary, Dear Emily, Dear Bob, Dear Person, Dear Dog. Anything. Heck, you can even complain to your mechanical pencil for not working. It can be short or long, just let it go. No one has to know who it's about or who it's for. It's just a place for you.

I ask everyone who reads or posts not to care what other entries say. Worry about your own release. It may be odd, but I always felt a lot better after writing a letter, or even just a poem of how I felt. So maybe this will help your day as well. :)
