I have always been writing my diaries for as long as my memory goes back into my childhood. I put it aside for a few years, and refused categorically to write anything for many periods at a time in previous years. Then after some severe adventures of the Fourth encounter kind, I picked up diary writing again. 

Self reflection is the VITAL element that makes one be a true healer. I hope you all pick up diary writing or poetry writing or some sort of artistic expressive outlet. It will make you wiser, better heart and comfortable with everyday as it comes.
