Sick of Faking Diary Entries

This is a lyric from Dodie, an artist I’ve been into for a while. It made me think of how I sometimes bullshit diary entries to fill up pages, to take up space in a journal that I didn’t buy, with a pen that I stole, on a table with a cover that looks like spring but feels like winter.


I’ve lost the passion I once had for writing. Maybe I never really had it to begin with. Maybe I just liked the idea of being a writer. Of being depressed and isolated, with an alcohol problem and a tendency to over-analyze everything.


I look at my journal with the clean-cut pages and the softbound cover and worry that my words aren’t good enough to fill it. I think maybe it should go to someone worthy. Someone with better handwriting and great content. I feel guilty sometimes for filling pages with nonsense words. But don’t writers advise writing nothing to get to something?

p.s.

Check out Dodie’s new album if you’re into soft girl music 🙂

I’m from Colorado originally, but I’d love to move to other places because home should be the place you love, not the only place you know. This blog is meant to be a place to get my ideas out and sometimes stories! Still getting used to this adult thing so I’ll write about daily life a lot. I post every Sunday : )

About Me

Hi there! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my blog. I write fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between.

In my free time, I like to keep busy with a variety of hobbies. I’m an avid reader and writer, I love to knit, crochet, and embroider.

At the end of the day, though, my main priority is spending time with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling or just spending quality time together, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by those I care about.
