^ Yes. I love my diary, and some of my entrires go back to when I was 18 (27 now). What gets to me is how drastic a mental change could be from just months ago to where I am now. I&#x27;ll read something I wrote months ago and think &quot;Ha, so young and foolish!&quot; I genuinely think diaries are crucial to personal development because it allows you to see yourself speak honestly with the lens of an &quot;outside&quot; observer.
