“But, why should I keep a
diary?”, this is what my brother asked looking at his B’day gift and I simply smiled
and said, “because it will add magic to your life!”
Have you ever felt the need to
keep a diary? Or you too feel why should we do that? If its so, then you should
definitely read this blog!
I have been keeping a
diary since 2008, almost lost the habit, did not write for about 2 years, and
again started from 2019. I know it seems a little bit laborious to jot down
every trivial detail of your existence, its challenging to get time out of your
busy schedules to sit and write but trust me in the end it pays off!
Okay, coming back to the
question – WHY? I have four points to convince you:
1. Keep your memories alive
Do you remember all the mischiefs you did
as a kid? But isn’t it fun to listen to your own stories from your Grandma or Aunts?
Its like meeting your old version! Similarly, with the passage of time, we forget
the little things, those little happy moments that makes up our life. This is
where your diary can do magic…..you
get to look back at all the things that happen #nofilter! You can have a good odd
laugh at the stupid things you thought mattered the most to you. Like your first
school crush, or your first fight with your bestie!
2. Get free of cost therapy
Nothing can heal you better than words.
When you have emotions or feelings that are difficult to explain, you think no
one will understand, you can always write it in your diary. As Anne Frank said,
“Paper has more patience than people”.
Writing will help you clear your mind,
help you arrive at decisions without letting other people’s thoughts cloud your
decision. Whenever you are in a dilemma or you are not sure what you really
want then your diary is the therapy you need!
3. A Best Friend Forever
You can fearlessly pour your heart out and
it won’t spill a single word. Paper won’t judge you like people do. Moreover,
unlike your phones and laptops, it would never have storage scarcity. In this
digital era, it will be something so real and authentic which you can’t just
delete from your cyberspace!
4. It can be something to pass on…
What if many many years down the line,
someone uses your diary as a ‘primary
source’ in some history essay :D :D You never know!
Atleast if your grandkids want to know you
well or have some questions, they won’t need a Ouija Board for that, right? So,
you can just pass it on to your kids and let them also crack a laugh with you!
So, this was today’s Magic Mantra. Have I convinced you yet? If yes, go grab a diary for
the new year…9 days to go!!
