I make a point to correct anyone who calls a diary a journal. I can spill my innards into a diary, and I want my neighbors to know that I do, frequently, in front of them. It reminds people not to peek after I shut the cover and seal it with an elastic strap.
I don’t have a pitch for this blog except that I write what I feel, and that makes it one of my diaries. I am not always proud of everything I put in my diaries, but I am always proud of myself for having finished the entry.
