I was about 16 when I started this journal and 20 when I stopped writing in it.
I found it again, nearly a decade later, and I've been writing throughout the missing years. I purchased journals and did it old school when I stopped using this site.

At this time, I currently have around 10 journals full of my life's experiences.

I've decided to catch myself up through the missing time and post some of the entries on here. A way to remember myself as I was and also reflect on how I've grown.

What a journey! Thanks for joining me!

Finding an old friend is like finding a lost treasure.  Well goddamn. It's literally been almost 10 years since I've written a post on this thing. What an old friend of mine. I must admit, I've thought several times of tracking down my old password and finding the email under this account just to...

    Honestly, I totally forgot about Open Diary. Shame on me!   So much has happened in the passed 2 years! First off, I have moved in with my boyfriend John. :) Leaving my parents was a really awful day. I suppose I should explain that first...   My parents told me they would be ...

    I love my sister to death, don't get me wrong. And maybe I just need to back off because - truthfully - in the end it's her life and she's the one who has to make the decisions...even if they're the wrong ones.     My sister married this one guy a handful of years ago and…

    So I've gotten 2 migraine headaches in the past four days...gross.   Not really what I wanted to share with you all though. But if you're in any way familiar with Migraines,  then you can imagine how much vomit I've spewed. Too much is right.   Anywho...like I said in the...

    "Write a letter to a person in your life, saying all the things that need to be said."   (For my biological father...I'm not sure if I've missed you. But it has been about 10 years since we truly spoke.)   Honestly, I've felt like a failure for a long time. I've hated myself f...

  • I hope I’m not jealous.

    I have an issue with my sister again. It's like she's creepishly obsessed with her boyfriend. They spend ALL THEIR TIME together! All of it! If you're looking for one, ask the other. Constantly. It's driving me crazy! I like the guy now, I do, but Jesus...he needs to get a life. It...

    I think my mother as some pent up anger towards me held up deep inside her somewhere. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, the way she treats me sometimes. I've been thinking. I wonder if my mother is jealous of the relationship I have with my dad. It's silly but I see the…

    When I first started OD I told myself I wasn't going to take ages to write between entries. Well...that part seems to have happened all on it's own. Sorry about that. On another topic entirely, I saw Michael yesterday at church. Do you know how long it's been? I can't even remember..that's how lo...
