Rethinkinking this whole diary thing
Dear Diary,

I have been really thinking about making diary private or just to have it completly transferred to my own computer. The reason should be obvious. The power the diary offers to people that may encounter me. While ofcourse I thought about this when I first opened a diary, now I have all the stuff I really needed to say off my chest. SOmetimes I think that just leaving it here is an open invitation to trouble. I mean, all it takes is for the wrong "friend" to find it and hurt me. Or maybe an exsisting reader who knows me offline will decide to share it with others.

What would that mean? Well, I guess it'd dramatically reshape my image to them and let them know exactly what hurts me and what bothers me. In the wrong hands, *or minds should i say* someone could really devestate me. Hmmm, i dunno. Right now it isn't happening, i will give advanced notice if its immenient. Just an idea i have been playing with.

As for life, not so great. I think I'm coming off the spiritual high I was on. So I need to work on that. Also need to get job, thinking of moving. Plus I need to help out around the house. Money has been EXTREMELY tight around here. My mom has been getting layed off left and right. *she gets these temp jobs* It sucks because my bank account is gone and she won't be getting money for awhile. We will manage though. Its kinda lame though, we really don't have to go through this if we swallowed are pride and just got some help but we dont and won't. Jeff and his sister have offered help but I would never. I'm poor but damnit not helpless. I just need to get to working and once college starts, do that too. ANyways, pray for me and my family. ~end~

I can totally understand how you could want to make your diary private.... For example, one of my friends recently had this whole boyfriend, family, friend mess due to her diary... See, she wrote EVERYTHING in there... and she... well... nevermind, but it was a BAD situation...

So... even though I don't know you, if you're writing something that you wouldn't want any specific people to see... it's better to make it private...

Love and kittens,
Malice

Well, you could just make those specific entries private instead of the whole diary. On the flip side though, your true friends are also finding out about the things you want to talk to them about but have trouble finding the words for. Plus and minuses. It's the same in everything.

Don't worry about the spiritual high. We're not meant to be 'high' all the time. What counts are all the little things. One step at a time. Each little prayer, each little deed, each little thought directed the right way - it all adds up. You have to build slowly not fly sky high. Remember, most people are still baby Christians. We have to learn to walk first.

Besides, have you ever heard Douglas Adams' definition of flying? It's the art of throwing yourself at the ground and missing. The trick is to distract your mind right when you throw yourself, so that you miss. Pretty painful if you ask me. I'd rather not have to learn to fly by making God a distraction. Really not the best way to do it, I'd think. ;-)
