Dear Diary, You Know It All

 

Dear Diary,
People have started asking about you recently. You are getting popular, I guess. I don’t know if its only you or also your counterparts! Everyone is sharing the glimpse of there beloved journals/diaries these days, but I don’t think I am yet ready to share you with others. You are one thing I hold so dearly to my heart that I don’t want to share it with anyone else no matter how close the person is.

They ask me how do I feel about writing in you.
Sharing everything with you has always brought relief to my burdened heart. Sharing my most treasured moments with you, has always been a delight. Writing those moments and feelings I never spoke to anyone, was always liberating. You liberated me of my unwanted thoughts, taking them out of my head and carefully hiding them between your pages.

Someone asked me that do I read what I write in my diary.
What answer should I give, I thought. You only know how many times I have turned the pages and tried to relive those happy moments wishing I could turn back time as easily as I turned your pages. I have read and re-read those hard moments and learned that time fixes everything eventually, we just need to stay strong. Some pages give me courage and strength to keep moving past the obstacles. The then there are those unspoken feelings that found space in your pages and reading those I get nostalgic (often tears) but I get to know that some feelings are temporary and wear off and some are however stuck in head and heart forever.

On being questioned what relationship I shared with you, I had no words. May be because, I don’t know how to describe this inexplicable relationship with you. You are just not a diary with certain pages binded together. You are much more than that to me. You are more like a person to me who is always there to patiently listen to me, to whom I can pour my deepest feelings without being judged in the least, to whom I share my worst fears and also those irrational tears. You are always there even when I have no one around. Sometimes you are the only one I need. You are like a bestfriend-cum-mother, just being there like a silent listener. Your pages from past even guide me through future. What else do I need? You are the perfect friend the I can ever find.

I am so sorry that I have been neglecting you for quite a while now, but I promise to be back soon to share everything that you might have missed till now.

-With all my love,
Nibhz

  1. hmmm .. well I think people who write a diary , they all know what relation they have .. it has all our secrets and is our best buddy always in good nad bad times ..

  2. I have never really been one to write in a diary. My grandma kept a diary throughout her whole lifetime. I always felt a bit silly writing my thoughts down in a book like that.

  3. Oh, the relationship with a diary is very special and sacred… it is the bestest of friends and confidante. While sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings in a diary is cathartic, re-reading the older entries is a fab trip down the memory lane. I have had diaries on and off, but was never able to maintain it for long!

    1. I too maintain a diary but its really hard to keep it updated, it remains blank for most of the year! 😛

  4. My diary is my best friend too and my first love 😉 I always read it when I am feeling low or when I feel that life isn’t going good! It always makes me smile 🙂

    1. Truly said Swathi! I totally agree with you.. diary does makes us reflect the past through our own words! 🙂
