and not skipping!!! even super drunk or super tired I have to write my diary and it’s funny to read back because my handwriting is scrawled and all over the page. i have done it consistently for over a year now. it reminds me that the days that memories blur into one mass were actually distinct and lived second by second

If not every day then just when you can, half the time I’m lying and a day behind playing catch-up. Anything I don’t want to tell a real person, dishing all gossip but also a general recap of my day etc. Great if you don’t trust your long term memory, because I sure don’t! I started months ago but got serious about it before new year’s. I’ve been consistent and it’s as close as I can get to free therapy, other than venting into the void!
(the void doesn’t remember for you though) :/

Having something to go back to, as a living record of your feelings and your time, can be really lovely— when you’re in a season where it feels like many days are bad days, you have a record, written in your hand, of good days. Keeping a diary is a good way to practice being in love with yourself, and being disciplined in an artistic practice, and writing beautifully about your life. If you want to read a diary that I think keeps an excellent log and has interesting things to say about the act of writing a diary, May Sarton’s “House By The Sea” is really beautiful; so is Sylvia Plath’s diary.

somebody else wrote writing fiction but i’d like to add having a diary and consistently writing in it, i’ve always said i can’t have one and it’s overrated, well i take it all back, i understand the hype and i love it so much.

oh my god. I went into this thinking yeah yeah fun pretty technicolour Powell & Pressburger postwar ballet film. and it is all of those things. but it is also PERFECT. dramatic and beautiful with queer and feminist overtones/undertones that are so exciting to identify in a 75 year old film and a plot that speaks to anyone caught between art and the conventions of love!! And it has a 17 minute hyperreal ballet sequence through the psyche! genuinely want to scream about it to everyone i’ve ever met

I literally am not a vegan or even lactose intolerant but I think they put crack cocaine into vegan chocolate because it is so good. None of that horrible dry sticky mouth feeling you get after eating normal choc. Shoutout to these little guys at Easter
