#newbeginnings

I'm pretty content with my life 😊. I have a loving husband and a daughter whom I gave birth to earlier this year 👶. She has brought so much joy and love into our lives ❤️. Watching her grow and develop each day is an amazing experience. My husband is my rock and biggest supporter.…

Here I am starting anew here. I first came to Open Diary 20 years ago. A high school senior or just graduated. I can’t remember which and that diary is long gone. The diary I kept after that one is still here. It sits, the proverbial dust covered book on the shelf.  A treasure trove…

Hi, I do own a private journal that I write in but having the ability to publicly and anonymously release my thoughts helps when I feel I have no one to speak to or do not want to bother people with my issues. Everyone is dealing with something and I want to be a bright…

I fucked things up by deleting (not the message from OD but the actual account) the email associate with my previous account. I am not sure if I'll stick around though... but $3 a pop isn't bad I guess. I wish there were more people on here though. Not splogs (spam + blogs) but actual…

I haven’t journaled with on online community in years. Life has been kinda crazy lately though and it has me missing that. Missing the camaraderie of other writers and the friendships that would form as we got to know one another. So I’m here, giving this a shot, hoping to find a place to land.&h...

I tried Prosebox, hated it, tried DW... that's ok too... but nothing compares with OD. I will get a sub sometime this week. :) I screw up all the time with the passwords/email thing... it's complicated really... but just watch this space.

Hello again old friend! I haven't seen you in quite some time! It's ironic and fitting that I used this title on my last entry all those years ago. So much has changed.  I probably should start writing here again, it would be good therapy.  Goodness knows I have a lot of things on my…

When I said I'd be back I made that promise and while I know its not sooner I simply just never found the right flow. A part of me wants to really journal more and not so much here but also on paper. We will get to that in a moment. I miss that art.…

Well, what a year. A year that has been hard for us all, a global struggle. When I put this into perspective, my issues which have been brought to light this year don't seem so bad. So instead of making a post on New Years Eve which goes over simply the negative - despite most…

Dear DM, If the year on my "search entries" only goes back as far as 2001, does this that 2001 was when I first began my diary? Because if so, I'm missing... stuff. Also --- apologies for the friend request thingy. I mean.... I'd LOVE to be your friend and all, yanno? And thanks for…
