diary

We live our lives like diaries.

Your stories, kept secret, are buried deep inside the pages of a book held tightly shut and hidden in a place no one can find but you.

Your fears, scribbled down in the middle of the night in hopes that writing them and reading them back to yourself may will them to be overcome.

Your dreams (the ones you know will never happen because 'that's life' but think about them anyway) haphazardly jotted on page after page, some erased and rewritten, some scribbled out and revised, some ripped out entirely and forgotten.

I can't promise it won't be difficult for me, and I certainly won't promise you'll always like what you see, but let's make a pact from here on out: I'll let you read mine if you do the same <3
