I should keep a diary. I think it would help me a lot.

I don't keep a dairy but my brother did work on a farm. We used to have a milking shed when we kept goats and a milking machine.

I want to laugh but you could be dyslexic, so I won't.

I tried.

It mostly contains rants of more or less the same things.

It's also coded because I cannot trust people around me to not be nosy.

With my so-called English, I was really confused and wondered if I made mistakes and couldn't remember if I wrote dairy, diary, diaries, dairies, and even at some point I was worried how "diarrhea" is spelled because I was affraid that I did make mistake like that.

I think he spelled it wrong by accident.

He may have done that to be humorous but I don't think Mountain Goat is the pranking type.

I could be wrong?

A man by my name kept a diary for about ten years between he was 15-25. I was very surprised when I put it down from the shelf and read it a couple a years ago. I had no idea that the writer wasn't me. I have thought of myself as an older and wiser version of that person. That wasn't the case. Step by step whoever wrote that diary has since that changed and eventually turned into the person that is me. Because I wasn't around when that diary was written.

Maybe if I find a way to make very concise summary of my days instead of going into too much details (that can take several pages and hours with possible headaches and rewrites because screw crappy memory), or the same loop of thoughts and feelings because it's the strongest feeling I felt regardless of what happened during the day.


Maybe diaries shouldn't be an emotional thing to me. I'm already in excess of feelings, I don't need more in any other aspects of my life.
And writing about it over and over doesn't make it go away.

Maybe I should never infect my writings with whatever unwanted expressions of emotionality I want to get rid of if I start to write a diary again.

At the same time, I don't want to 'lie'... I just want to stop ranting, be this emotionally based and writing things over and over uselessly.
