Anime is a good way to get some reading done while watching a show. The anime I have watched, has made want to try and imitate the main character who had a diary and wrote everything about what was going on around them. Of course I will try keeping a diary as well to imitate the protagonists coolness. Then as more journal entries were put in I realized It helped me so much. I had began to write about problems i had or worries, things I thought feelings, expectations, hopes anything that I was too scared to really tell anyone. In this point in my life I t was crucial having a diary. Puberty and low self esteem mix to make an unhappy teen who’s thoughts were that suicide was an option and keeping a journal will make it so whoever comes across it will know what kind of person I was. Keeping track of every, time, emotion, situation, thoughts, feelings, reaction and anything else that needed mentioning. These hard times have made keeping a journal essential to note down everything. They helped calmed me down writing about how I felt and keeping myself expressive to someone in the future. This moment of puberty have made writing important to me. No matter where I was or what time it was I just wrote it in a diary. Once my confidence was better and I had thought that suicide wasnt an option i wasnt ready to get rid of my journal/diary. This piece of work that has helped me deal with stress and anxiety. Words I can Express without getting in trouble or thoughts that can be written and not fear that I’m sounding crazy or emotional to someone. The day I wrote my diary entry I had a bad friend break up and I didnt want to talk to anyone about it. The anime I watched before came to mind and I decided that that’s how I’m going to channel my energy. I was going to write what I want when I want. I said all the meanest things about my ex-friend at the time and then I spoke about how I didn’t mean it. Just a rant to a blank page suddenly being filled by my own thoughts and feelings. I kept going after and it just became casual. Updating my journal/diary in the bathroom, on trips, when alone, when with people. Anytime and anywhere I could write about whatever. My journal/diary has been my literacy narrative for about 5 years now and it’s helped so much. I don’t need to update my journal but because of how much it has helped me to become the person I am today I continue to do it. This has helped me grow as a person and stopped me from becoming a person who contemplated suicide or treating my journal as a will. It brings great pride that I have a journal, it doesn’t affect me when someone makes fun of me because my journal has helped me.
