Anecdote

When I was much younger I would write in a pink diary that my Mom had bought for me. It was bubble gum pink with bright pink hearts all over the intire book. To keep it safely away from my brother's suspicious eyes it had a huge pink heart-shaped lock with a combination that only I knew. I filled the pages with the type of things that young girls are concerned with; who I was going to invite to my birthday party, who was the cute boy at recess, what movie I was going to go see with my girlfriends that weekend, how cute Leonardo Dicaprio looked in Titanic, etc. This is one of my first memories of writing down personal thoughts and ideas. I have always shown a deep interest in reading and writing. Throughout elementry school I would speed through American Girl books and spend much time during class writing creative stories to read to my classmates. Once I starting getting older and more in touch with my feelings and what was going on with my friend's lives is when I started keeping a diary. This memory not only serves as a humorous story about all the silly things I wrote about, but it also is a sentimental memory of my youth. A diary shows you how to be more reflective on yourself as well as provides entertainment years down the road.
