Quotes from my diary

 I'm so bored right now so I'm just looking back at what I've written in my personal diary / journal. I've been using it since summer of 2025 and it's currently winter of 2026. Here's what it looks like! I drew the cover myself.

It's surprising how thoughtful my writing was even if I was just venting. Sometimes it takes time to recognize the worth in something! Anyways, here you go :

"It's strange missing somebody who's not even thinking of you right now." 

--> Honestly I wrote this about somebody who I totally should not have been thinking about haha. It's funny to read back on but I thought it was still meaningful enough to include. Sometimes I can push the context aside and honor how I felt in the moment.

"It sucks because I look around my room and I'm reminded of what I used to be able to do."

--> This one is for the artists out there. Sometimes it like really super sucks seeing your passion for something you once loved so dearly decline over time. This passage was written a while ago so I've adapted a more positive mindset to seeing how good my art used to be. Instead, I appreciate the totally talented 15 year old artist I was while not being too hard on myself in the present.

"I like this journal but I wish I was talking to more than myself."

--> I think this sentence came from a time where I was feeling pretty lonely, but I think since then I've learned that time and reflection by yourself is very much needed for anything & everything. Keep some things to yourself. Sometimes you need to grow in silence. And that's fine:)

"I shouldn't fear what love could bring into my life, but rather not let it consume"


--> I'm a pretty emotional person and it's quite easy for me to get wrapped up in new, exciting things. I think this entry was just a reminder that things happen and at the end of the day I'll be ok. And I am ok! It's funny how trusting the process works.

Honestly there were a lot more quotes that I wanted to include but I'm kind of sleepy right now so maybe I'll write that in another post later. But it's nice to have a log of what you in the past used to think. It really makes me feel grateful for all the hardships I've faced so far because I am now able to handle tough situations!

Thank you for reading!!
