Comment on Anon wants to start a journal
Restaldt@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I tried keeping a journal once
Then my parents found it, read it, and put me in therapy for a while
I no longer keep journals
It sucks they violated your privacy, but there’s nothing wrong with therapy. Did it for a couple years myself. Good to get it out and get someone else’s perspective on things.
Of course, I did that on my own volition. It would’ve been better if you had that choice too.
That sucks. Parents don’t understand what privacy means when it comes to their children. My diary/journal got exposed by my mother in front of the entire family. That memory just got into my mind by reading your comment. Time to forget it again. 2024 resolution is to try keep things written down again.
Try Vigenère cipher !
Was the therapy helpful?

Locked folders on your phone work well in my experience. Sucks they forced you to do smth you didn’t want to do or weren’t ready for, I’m sorry
