Adventure USA

Quick update: We are in the USA now, but there's sooo much to see and do and find out that I've got almost no time write posts apart from uploading a few pictures now and then on my other blog 1001 Orte. It is in German, but there is a translate button on the right hand side and pictures generally speak for themselves anyway :)

Also, in my head I am working on a few posts about sustainability and green living. Stay tuned, I will post a new article as soon as I've got a little more time to actually sit down and get some writing done.

Xoxo, have a great week!

Keeping a diary

Ever since I was 11 or 12 I have kept a diary. My diary is like my very own biography with gaps - and a little (or very) subjective. At times I wrote down my thoughts every day, at times I haven't written a single word in months. I think, the longest time I didn't use my diary were about 8 months.

Rereading my diary always feels like living my life again. It makes me feel sad, happy, excited - whatever feeling I had at the time. I have always used my diary as some kind of therapy to cope with thoughts and feelings. To me, writing my thoughts down equals pouring my heart out to someone in person. It's like my thoughts become clearer, calmer and less overwhelming.

Writing my diary is a way to calm myself down, to motivate myself, to sort things out.

I know, that a lot of people keep diaries, but I've never thought about the reasons they might have. Do you keep a diary, and why? What are your reasons?

Xoxo, have a great week!
