Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! I mean, definitely write it in your journal; just not here on the Internet.
. . .here are my thoughts.
If you could read one person’s diary, whose would it be?
I’ve never read The Diary of a Young Girl. That’s the book I’d have sworn was called The Diary of Anne Frank. Maybe I should read it, though, because I’ve been journaling for nearly a decade myself. That’s about 66% of Anne’s entire life! I’ll concede Anne wrote about things slightly more impactful to human history than yours truly. Probably the main reason I haven’t cracked the spine on her diary turned iconic piece of published literature, is that she never gave explicit consent for it to be read by anyone, let alone potentially everyone in the world for the rest of human history. Although, from all accounts, it seems her intentions and desires were ultimately for some form of future publication. So, yeah, I probably will read it someday. The real question we should ponder today is this: what instructions should I leave in my will to have done with my journals upon my death? And Frankly (pun obviously intended), unless I somehow become famous (infamous?) before I croak, nobody in their right mind would dare to trudge through what will surely be tens of thousands of pages.
