I decided not to make a video blog because I'm uncomfortable with documenting myself, I hope that''s alright for everyone. However, I did manage to take pictures =D
My task was to write a journal for myself. It was definitely something that I had never done for several of reasons- mostly because I do a lot of reading and I just never get the time to write about me! I'm always so busy doing so many other activities, I've never really had the 'right' time to reflect upon myself or rethink about anything. But seeing that I had to make sure I got into practice of writing, I bought myself a new diary to write on and decided that I won't have a specific time; that's because I decided to write on my journal before I go to sleep. And I never have a specific bed time.
I thought writing before I go to sleep would allow me to rethink my whole day and reflect back on each activity I carried out. Activities that sometime I may not even notice, that seem so banal were highly significant once I got it down on paper. For example I realised everyday when I was writing, at-least on one page my family was mentioned. I'm just so used to being around my family that I can't imagine a day without them , and strangely enough whilst I was writing i felt as though I was alone- so it was important for me to make sure I included the time I spent with them and emphasised upon it. Writing is a very simple thing to do, yet it had so much agency over you, you begin to unfold yourself. I don't mean to sound all philosophical but I truly felt as though I can express myself without any hesitation. Mainly because I knew no one was going to read it- it was for my eyes only.
I honestly enjoyed writing because what makes me me are the people around me. Writing about them along with me was a whole new experience. I can't say I will be writing everyday, but it is definitely
something I would like to do at-least a few times in a week.
Here is the diary I was writing on:
Look forward to seeing you all
