Dear diary,

                I dont really know when my facination for diaries started. Maybe it was when i was younger, when my friends and I would trade different stationaries, and we would write senseless stuff to each other. Or maybe that time when I read my mom's diary and I saw her poetry, and decided to give it a try and see if I had a knack for it. Or maybe coz I just have to many brilliant thoughts in my mind that I wanted to document it.

                 I started writing when I was a freshman in highschool. I joined the school paper and wrote several articles. Then I started writing poetry. Then I decided to just write short sentences, sort of quotes, or reminders. Coz I was too lazy to write anything long.  I kept buying different journals and notebooks thru the years, but I always kept one where I wrote everything. When I saw a new one, I would start transferring my poetry there, till i get tired, and then Id find another journal, and transfer it there again. I know, how stupid is that :P
               Then one of my ex's, my beau at that time, told me to burn my poetry notebook. He said he cannot bear to read all those love-stricken poetry about other men, so I should burn it. Well its not like I wrote about a lot of men. But most of the things I wrote about were about love of course. So yeah, I did burn it. And yeah, we did split after a few years.
                After that, I thought my journal fondness was over. But when I started going to starbucks, and I came across the starbucks planner, it was love at first sight. Their sticker idea was a good one. It made me go everyday for coffee even if i wasnt really much of a coffee drinker. One time i even drank 2 venti Americanos consecutively. By the time i got to work, i was palpitating and scared shit. I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my shirt. Scary shit i tell u. But at least I did get 2 stickers for it :D
Til eventually i lost the drive for manually writing, and decided to blog instead. My first domain was loveandotherdemons.com, last 2006, which I had for a year. Then I tried other blogging platforms. I think I have one in every platform, in every popular blogging website lol. I guess some facinations never really get resolved. Or as how Freud would put it, i am probly fixated over something.
