I always believe that it is necessary that everyone should have something or someone to whom they can share their feelings or thoughts without being judged. In that way, I can say that my diary is my first best friend. I started to keep a diary since my 6th grade and I even named her. Ever since that, I’ll share and write it down everything to her. I feel free when I do that, a kind of relaxation that I get same as when I open up my mind to some living-being. Writing a diary is not a difficult task to do, it can even be a silly thing but all you have to do is to express it.
“To write, you just have to have something to say.”
It is always a great idea to discover how you really feel and sometimes you will express feelings that you dint even know you had. It also helps to organize the ideas and emotional chaos that many of us go through.
Research have also shown that writing diary promotes mental health. Writing a diary always made me feel less-stressed. Isn’t it great that you share everything without being criticized and mocked! It also helps you to have a great peace of mind and over time writing diary becomes a part of necessity. It also helps you to write your deepest thoughts and enhances your creativity. You can also use diary to set your priorities of work such that you keep your works organized without any chaos.

I don’t have to pretend with her, I can just write whatever I feel and be honest. When you turn back your pages one day, you could feel like you went back to time, to your childhood days. I also find many photographs of myself where I look more dumb and funny. It automatically puts a smile on my face whenever I look back into it. Sometimes I even consider it as my stress buster. Even minute details will be noted and you will feel nostalgic about the childhood days you had. It is a great feeling I get that no person could give me. This is the best part of keeping diary and I will always love her for putting a smile on my face.
