Do you keep a diary/journal?

JσℓιєFℓєυя · 04:33 PM

Soo....do you keep/write a diary/journal?

Reason I'm asking is that SubhanAllah I know so many people, both brothers and sisters who are in either a state of depression or just feel lonely etc I want to know if anybody keeps a journal and how it helps them.

I mean sometimes we need somebody to talk to, somebody to advise us, keep us company and talk back. But other times, we just need to be heard...No advice or feedback, just heard. And I guess thats where a journal would come in, somewhere to keep a record of your ideas and feelings. But more than that, something that will take in all that you say without any interruptions or a need for trust etc

Hmm...Just thinking. Oh and just for the record, I dont keep a one

^ Guys are different init...they don't express their feelings/or they don't know how to...so they just ignore them and cause the other person pain (no offence).

I've voted no.

I think it would be a good idea though, so you can see how you have changed, better/worse, how your thoughts on something have changed, what you've learnt etc etc. I think the downside is though you end up writing silly stuff, and then it gets read by someone else..

Yeah true, so before you start one you gotta make sure you think of a good hiding place. Not like when I was a kid....a good hiding place was under my pillow

LOL.

Just LOL.

If I'm sad, then I usually do something to take my mind off things, any sport usually does it. So to answer your question, no, I don't.

By the way what's Ji?

I think they probably cause more pain to themselves actually, but I guess they do themselves good in the sense that they dont dwell on the -ve's in life too much.

And Ji...is just Ji
