Dear (J)ournal

You’re aware of my aversion to pen and paper writing
Still,
You put up with my reluctance
You open-up your space to me
You allow me to vent on your pages, most of it just half-hearted, incomplete, incomprehensible, incoherent ramblings
You let me use use you for creating goal-oriented as well as mundane lists

You’re okay with being my second choice, just a back up I turn to, when your digitally advanced cousin isn’t around or available to me
You’re fine with the fact that though you were my first, I easily put you on the back burner when a better-looking e-journaling option was put into my lap

Thank you
For staying on despite the permanent status of being a ‘back-up’
For holding my teenage secrets, some of which were plain embarrassing
For helping me discover my passion for writing
For becoming my therapist when I didn’t even know I needed one

I can’t promise to make you my main
I can’t promise to come back to you everyday
I will promise to fill your pages sooner or later
I will promise to have you on my desk and be witness to my writing
I will promise to make you the first draft of most of my content pieces

In exchange,
Will you promise to keep my writings within your pages, a secret for life?
