I Keep a Journal

These days everyone wants to take shortcuts. Immediate gratification is what they look for. I think it's not the best way to go about in life. Self discipline is very important, it gives you a lot of freedom and you get more done. It...

I always thought i can manage without one but these days i want one i feel...
Here are my reasons for wanting one
Sharing: There are times, i want to talk about stuff. Serious and silly stuff. I want to share them with someone who is...

I started keeping a jouirnal when I was about 9 or 10 years old.
Yes sir thats right... my mum bought me my first jounral one christmas day and I was sooo excited to write on it right away.
At the end of everyday I would write down...

4/2/2013I hung out with that guy I apparently “friendzoned” awhile ago that blew me off last time we were supposed to hang out. I actually really enjoyed hanging out with him.He still is really bad at making eye contact with me...

As I currently sit here here in a abundance of solitude and tranquality I come to the conclusion that life is nothing but a simpilistic dream, movie and adventure of it's own. We are all by products of the magnificant, strange, unknown...

Today could have been the best day ever.... sadly it turned out to be the worst day of my life, i only hope this day does not repeat itself ever....

So i was given a more challenging role at work. I was told my performance in new role will be watched for few months. The guy before me couldn't take the pressure and was let off. I did well, yesterday one of the seniors acknowledged my...

I have some journals I keep here in my home and a few on line. I keep my most personal deep down thoughts in my home journal. I am mostly open in some of my on line journals but feel most thoughts are meant to be kept off line from...

Being spiritual has changed a lot of things for me. It has given me peace and strength which cannot be taken away. My grasping and understanding capability has grown exponentially. However, it has also made it difficult for me to relate...

It seems most people are here on EP because they are going through some sort of problem in their lives. Even i had joined when i was going through my own set of problems-mostly health related. I found few people who were going through...

I used to write in books when I was younger. Then I stopped because I was afraid of someone finding my books. But then I discovered EP a couple of years ago. I really enjoy writing and have this need to write. EP fulfills this writing...

I love to write in my journal.  I don't write in it everyday but when my thoughts and feelings are all cluttered up in my head it's nice to write them all down.  It helps restructure my thoughts, goals, ideas, and where I'd...

I have been through a self created hell. I had let it play havoc with my mind, emotion and body. It was like a prank that had taken a serious turn. It had gone beyond my control. I lost and found my mind and something beyond it. Since...

I went on a LONNNNNNGGGG-ass hike today with "Friendzone" dude. It wasn't awkward (thank gawd!) and we didn't even drink, It felt good to get outside all day. We talked a lot and he was telling me some of his back story that I didn't...

I document everything. Every thought, nightmare, funny time, bad joke, awkward moments, everything.
I had a journal on my computer at one point, when I'd just started. Then I caught my step dad going through it.

That's when I...

Little things in life matter. There might be things you know you need to do but you let it slip anyway because you can. These little things accumulate and become a challenge sometimes. Let that inner voice be your compass and follow it...

I have become defensive because of the negative people and situations i have been through. I should be taking more initiatives, i owe it to myself.

In that moment, one that changed my life,
I recall the sharp, silver blade of the knife.
The nervous pain I felt inside,
The way I stayed up all night and cried.
It was never meant to be this way,
But then again what do they say?

Once...

I've been keeping journals for quite a few years now. My mother used to make us keep them as part of school (I was home schooled, yes). Of course, I never put anything very personal in those journals, as my mother would read them. Then...
