Forgive me diary for I have neglected you

I often think of posting, but still I don’t. My vow to post daily for a year has been in vain. I’m disappointed in myself, but there’s also a lesson for me in this.

This is what Gemini tells me:

“Overestimation of Capacity: You might have overestimated your ability to consistently write a journal entry every day. This can lead to a more realistic assessment of your time and energy.

• Lack of Clear Goals: If you didn't have specific reasons for journaling, it might have been easier to skip days. Defining clear objectives can increase motivation.

• Need for Flexibility: Rigid routines can be challenging to maintain. Incorporating flexibility into your plan can make it easier to stick to.

• Importance of Self-Compassion: Not meeting a goal doesn't define your worth. Self-compassion is essential for overcoming setbacks.

• Identifying Obstacles: Analyzing why you missed journaling days can reveal underlying challenges like stress, lack of inspiration, or time management issues.

Remember: It's okay to not be perfect. Every experience is a learning opportunity. Instead of focusing on the failure, use it as a chance to improve your approach.”

Thanks Gemi! You Are so kind 😅

Perhaps the fact that I cannot grasp the place my life is in at the moment makes it hard to phrase my own thoughts. Perhaps I worry that I’ll be too honest and people will actually read it, learning things about me I’m not sure I want them to know. Because the thing is, I have no idea who actually reads these posts.

If you are reading this now, leave me an anonymous hello so I know there’s someone on the other end. Even if it’s years later.

Be well!
