All my diaries

Diary entry:19

1: I have asthma (and some other disorders that I won't be sharing rn) and that does impact my life alot. I like running! I'm not able to do it alot but when I do it's fun. But I asthma stops me from doing what I truly want. Not only running,a variety of things

2: I have autism and I have ALOT of interests and things I like. I like to talk about these things. The internet and just writing thing in general and sharing them helps me do this better than talking can. I'm not nonverbal,I'm hyperverbal! But I do go nonverbal at times (during stress,really) which I obviously cannot control. I also have a speech disorder that stops me from speaking "normal". I remove letters,add letters,can't pronounce basic words,studder,stretch out words longer than they should,word things strange,and talk fast. "Aaaaaaa onversaaaatiiiion w-wiiiith meeeee iis haard fur m-most beeeiiings" (a conversation with me is hard for most beings) I wanna express myself to others verbally,I'm good at it (hyperverbal as I said) but it's hard and I hate it...

Tldr: I have a speech disorder so it's hard for me to express myself in a way people understand

3: I'm not sure how many beings relate to this but my parents are both strict and not strict at the same time,its just different ways. One thing my parents are strict about is my access to the internet. Which is understandable on paper but in the way my parents do it,ehh..not so much. I'm 15 and I can't have deviantart,tumblr,discord, tiktok,insta,youtube,my own phone,etc. I had to get this without asking them (and deviantart but I don't have that anymore)and now i have to hide it like my life depends on it (it kinda does sense this is probablythe only reason im here at this point). Last time I got something without ther permission (I was 13 btw) it got token away for like 11 months. Oh,the no phone part. I used to have a phone before but it got token away so now I only have this device so if this gets broken I'm fucked because they aren't gonna give me another one. And by no means am I asking for help about this,I'd say I'm pretty good. I honestly don't think my parents are that strict but I am still pretty upset about this. Seeing all my friends be on all these cool social medias,texting there friends,having a good time while I'm stuck here acting like I committed a crime because I have tumblr,for christ sake!

Tldr: my parents are strict about my social media (15,btw,and can't even have deviantart)

Dust-covered pens

Unread books

Empty diaries

Abandoned.

Why did I ever

leave behind

the very things

that helped me survive?

Who am I

without the ink

in the pen

spilled on pages

printed in stories?

How could I

be so selfish

to leave behind

what kept me alive?

I try to return

to the quiet comfort

of paper and ink

but I keep slipping

failing

again and again

And now

they look at me

like strangers

the pages

the words

the pen

watching in silence

with a certain kind of ache

I cannot bear to meet.

Last night I had piano Show. If we can called this a show.

During the whole evening, I stressed, I feel guilty, Doubt of Myself, I compared myself...

I even send a message to my best friend :

"Putain ils ont tous du talent"

(translation : Fuck, they all have talent )

Unfortunately, I listened my piano teacher, I shouldn't have, Because I doubted myself even more.

I started insulting myself, I thought I didn't deserve it. I compared myself with the other pianists. I was on the verge of tears.

In short, I shouldn't have.

So, As I told you, I doubt myself sometimes.

And for finish the tonight, I have been the happiest ! My old best friend, send me a message on Snapchat It's been a long time and we've been missing each other.

The rich colours of my writing desk and diary in the afternoon sun — a small moment from the weekend

What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.

Thinking about starting something diary adjacent. Writing notes/letters. But, I don’t know who I would address them to. It isn’t like towards an actual person, but I’m not writing to myself either, or a diary(I don’t love the Dear Diary format anyway)

Does anyone have any ideas??? Please lol

Neurodivergents writing a joke in their diary in brackets, and then drawing a winky face next to said joke - just so they can be sure the diary and any future re-reading self is aware it's a joke.

And then writing Joke in double brackets afterwards, just in case.

I bought a diary to figure out the problems in my life....

I started writing and then I realised that the only problem I did have was figuring which color diary I wanted...

All happy now

The art of leaving early

I used to get a gentle push from my parents when I hesitated at the edge of something new. A party. A pool. A school trip. That first nudge over the threshold. It worked. Most of the time. But now? I’m the one who has to do the pushing. And I’ll be honest: it doesn’t always happen.There’s a quiet pattern I’ve spotted in myself over the years: if something feels emotionally high-stakes, I tend to…

Diary entry:8

Shity day,again

Got me to my breaking point

3 months wasted I guess

[ramyaknox]

As an avid diary writer who is thinking about making a scrapbook next year reading the history on these Wikipedia pages is making me kind of emotional. Something about how every persons life is worth recording and how for a long time humans have wanted to preserve their emotions and friendships and love and journeys even though its pretty much impossible to keep a permanent record of anything we still try because we feel so much and we want to remember.

Write for yourself

Writing for yourself to explain what you're thinking can be such a good way to get a big weight off your chest.

It doesn't always have to be stories and fun when you're writing for yourself.

It doesn't need to be published, but just putting these thoughts into solid words can be therapeutic.
