Dear Diary, We are done !!!
We all have been through the phase in life where we were taught to pen down our thoughts. We must have wanted a pretty diary and a super smooth pen, waiting to give words to our imagination. Diary entry was a part of the curriculum, portrayed beautifully in movies and Anne Frank was for sure, an inspiration for many of us. The major thing missing across all the platforms was, to maintain privacy. Well, we all knew diary was a secret affair, yet, we never knew the consequences of the cat being out of the bag !!!
I started writing diary in 2006. A teenager, dealing with all the teenage issues, the diary was my route to another world where I penned down all my fantasies, painted beautifully, along with the harsh realities of life. Exam tension, differences with parents, irritating sibling, all these made a daily entry, along with my infatuation for a long-lost classmate. 😋Things went on smoothly for 6 months, yes 6 months without anyone noticing what I was doing, till one summer afternoon, when my brother caught hold of it and read it all !!!! READ IT ALL !!!!!! That wasn't the end. He was crushed, finding of my crush and threatened me he would go to mum. I thought of all the measures I could take to avoid it but in vain. That I was journaling regularly, was a known fact at home. So I could not even flush it out. I had to face mum when she got to know about it. I was asked to hand over the diary to her. I did so quietly, knowing in head, what was going to happen next. You see, it wasn't only about my fantasy being public, but also all the wonderful feelings that I had described in details about my mom in the diary was about to become a known fact... 😂 Well, you can't blame me.. I was a teenager 😂😂
I would not go into detail about what happened next. You must have realized it by now. My brother today says he is sorry for all the drama that he created, that it was none of his business interfering in my life and that he was a prick back then. I have already forgiven him and 14 years and counting, I have been journaling on and off, but no scoops and scandals anymore. Today, I am laughing my ass off, telling the world my survival story and sharing the most important gyaan !!! Diaries are not something worth trusting... So, journal, having a vision of the future... 😂😂😂
