For those of us who kept them, wrote in them
When we were young
And decades later.
Written words formed from shyness, sadness, awkwardness
Introverted, quiet, expressive, artistic.
Conveying thoughts, revelations, anger
Love, sadness, ideas, creativity, happiness.
Misunderstood, unrequited, forlorn
Release, emotions, low and high.
Diary or Journal
Hidden away
Hoping no one ever found them.
Happy Valentine's Day (for those who recognize the day, and those who simply write about it). 🩷
