Well, to begin with everyone has something special that they can’t live without it. For me it’s my diary, it’s not just a book, it’s my go-to place where I can express myself freely and for me it’s like a breath of fresh air where my life gets overwhelming. My diary is a simple notebook with elegant cover. It’s small enough that it always fits in my bag so I can always keep it to close. And more over blank pages give me freedom to write or draw as my mood strikes. It’s nothing fancy but it’s my treasure. I started maintaining diet a few years ago but after that it turned into my emotional outlet. Everyday I record my important tasks, set goals and scribble ideas. Whenever I felt confused or stressed, I poured my heart on its pages and it’s like having a heart-to-heart conversation with a friend who never interacts. What makes really my diary replaceable is the sense of balance to bring into my life. It’s a jack of all trades whenever it comes to helping me. When it comes to helping me, it’s clear my mind, organizing my thoughts and emotions and writing down my worries like letting out the cat out of the bag and instantly lightens the load. In addition to this, it also helps to reflect on my past, tracking my progress and even sometimes tumble upon problems and solutions. As the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved. For me, my diary is the one that I share my problem with it. I can’t imagine my life without it because it brings a peace of mind and keeps me balanced. It’s my motivator, it’s my silent reliever and constant companion through thick and thin. Without it, I would feel lost at the sea and unable to navigate my ups and downs of my life in a nutshell. My diary, it’s just, my diary, it’s more than just a book. It’s my anger, my personal space, my sign-learn to listener and create you out there so it’s a truly backbone of my life.
