There was a tough man in my life

He raised me up with a purity of kindness in my heart

He taught me to be a better person

He was my inspiration, He was my father.

She was constantly with me through my ups and downs

She never give up nor judge me for all the mistake i have done,

She was my best friend no matter how silly I am

She was my inspiration, She was my mother.

They are too many but few are genuine

Through good and bad times they are willing to share

Through my deepest sorrow they kept giving me a courage to move on

They are my inspiration, They are my true friends.

In life of peculiar situation I have met someone unexpected

He taught me how to be tough and understand the meaning of life

For me, he was not just a teacher but a genuine master in disguised

He was my inspiration, He was my everlasting special someone.

I have been keeping a diary since the 6th grade. It has been something that I cannot remember ever not always just being a part of my life. When I had no one else to turn to, my diary was ever present, faithful and dependable. It “listened” endlessly as I poured out my deepest desires, dreams, hopes and fears. It never judged me; it never told me to do anything. It was just always there for me, always.

When I first began writing in my diary it was at the suggestion of my non-biological mother (I am adopted). It sounded like an interesting idea to me, so I thought “why not?” and started right away. Now as an adult, I realize that it has been one of the most healing and powerful practices I could have ever started in my life. And, ironically, as a writer it is probably one of the very best practices I could have been introduced to.

In almost every book I have read about sharpening one’s writing skills, it has been suggested that one should make writing something every single day a part of one’s daily routine; most valuably free flow writing that allows you to just let yourself write whatever is on your mind without stopping, without editing, without worrying about content. This type of writing is exactly what you do when you write in a diary. And, if you keep it private, no one will ever be able to read your most intimate thoughts which will add the extra element of feeling completely free about the content. This practice can additionally open doors to creative possibilities within you that you never knew existed.

As you put pen to paper, you are practicing, sharpening and honing the intuitive voice inside of you. Becoming closer to it, trusting it, and listening to it more, so that when you need to write an article, a novel, etc. it becomes an easier, more natural endeavor.

To this day, I continue to keep a diary; and, I write in it even more than I did when I was a child. Not only is it therapeutic for me, but it just has become such a natural part of my life I cannot imagine ever not documenting my daily thoughts. They are infinitely important, invaluable pieces of my history that I want forever saved.

If you are a writer, I completely recommend beginning a diary of your own or if you already have a diary to write in it as much as possible. Not only will it improve your writing skills, it can act as a tangible best friend when you find yourself dealing with difficult trying moments that you feel you just cannot share with another person. Sometimes, just getting your thoughts and feelings out on paper can be an extremely liberating and healing endeavor. I know that it has helped me in more ways than I can ever fully list. From my experience, I know that keeping a diary is truly a priceless, invaluable practice.
