beanielou said:I have just had an emotional moment or two.
My diary from the year I got married & love letters from a former beau.
Hard to think people once actually saw me as a person to fall in love with.
The diary will be shredded, certainly not for DS's eyes!!But I know what you mean about shredding the diary - I kept a therapy journal for years, and one of the first things I did when I got my shredder was gradually shred it. Very glad I did so - I was never going to read it, and nobody would *want* to read it - very repetitive, apart from everything else!

You are still somebody who could be loved - you are a lovely lady and who knows - you might love somebody worthy of you next time. Bet is was emotional and certainly not for ds eyes......wouldn’t want to know his mums thoughts 😱😳😂

Tomorrow I’ll post a photo of all my notebooks on FB and tag you in, seriously I’ve got a lot. I especially like the project books as they have separate tabs 😂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Hi Beanie
As long as you love yourself and I don't mean in a vain way, that's the main thing. Seriously, I think it's a great place for people to start and it gives off really good vibes to other people. I'd love to write a 'proper' diary with all my innermost thoughts and feelings but I have this fear of dropping dead and somebody finding it while going through my stuff - it brings me out in a cold sweat lol. I'd hate to shred something like that but I think you've done the right thing. Some things are for our eyes only! Hope you're enjoying the weekend. xx
