A Personal Diary is a unique space for self-expression, self-reflection, and self-discovery.
A Personal Diary is a written record of your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and observations. It’s a place to document your life, capture your inner world, and reflect on your personal journey.
Here’s how it works:
Keeping a Personal Diary can offer many benefits, including:
There’s no ‘right’ way to keep a Personal Diary. The most important thing is that it’s a tool for you, by you. Make it what you need it to be.
Dear Diary, Yesterday, I suffered an injury at the gym – a bout of lower back pain, which has been a recurring issue for me. I suspect it’s largely due to the extended hours I spend sitting in front of my computer, working and studying. However, I can’t help but question if I might be… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Last night, I had a dream in which I found myself arguing, even fighting, with some unspecified “parents” of a partner or lover. The specifics are fuzzy, but it felt as if I was undergoing a “screening” in which these “parents” were evaluating my suitability as a potential partner for their daughter. Frustratingly,… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, The main issue that marked today revolved around an uncomfortable social obligation: a dinner with relatives and cousins. This predicament stirs a certain grumpiness within me.

Dear Diary, Yesterday, during dinner with my aunt and her family, I experienced a peculiar sense of connection with her.

Dear Diary, Yesterday, I had to confront some old emotions – feelings of being attacked, criticized, and unappreciated.

Dear Diary, There’s not much to report about today, except for a ‘small’ revelation: One of the lessons from A Course in Miracles suggested that I should forgive every hour, thereby ensuring that the next hour is free from the influence of the past. This means that each waking hour should be spent forgiving the… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Tonight, I find myself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions: Envy? Frustration? Hopelessness? It seems that watching some carefree individual promoting his tantra school or course ignited these feelings within me. I find myself envying him for appearing to have access to all the fun and intimacy that seem beyond my reach. This… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today my mum mentioned how, as a baby, I used to scream a lot because I apparently disliked my food. It’s worth noting that I wasn’t breastfed, so I presume my diet consisted of powdered milk or baby formula, as it was called back then. Perhaps I found it unpalatable or had difficulty… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today I noticed a recurring pattern in my life, which I’ve come to view as a ‘red thread’ of sorts. Occasionally, women or girls, to whom I’m not attracted, may exhibit actions that I interpret as an attempt to forge a connection or show affection. This prompts a natural response of rejection from… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today, I was faced with an unexpected issue: an annoying neighbor who wishes to inspect my mother’s house, where I’m currently staying for a few weeks. His reason? A pesky ant infestation in the apartment downstairs. As a result, I find my patience waning and defensive, possibly even aggressive, instincts kicking in. I… [keep reading]
