I used to keep a journal since I was a kid, like a real one, I remember my mom found out about me losing my virginity because of my diary! It was funny because I denied it at first.
The story was my first boyfriend and I broke up because of reason that his family and my family just didn’t approve of us. My ex told my mom that we did it thinking that my mom will approve of us and that he will win me back! What a really stupid move! So my mom talked to me about it and I was denying it, and she confessed that she read my diary, how could she?!? Moms really don’t know how to respect their child’s privacy.
I also love writing love letters which are not meant to be read, I had tons, I also remember my brother found one and kept teasing me because the name of the guy was the same name of his friend who always visits our house but it was two different person.
I learned how to use a computer and I started keeping a diary on a common laptop and created a directory with password but it turned out that I’m too transparent and my closest cousin new about it and was able to read everything. She even told me maybe I should be a journalist.
Then I was introduced to the world of blogging in 2001 and I stopped writing with notebook and pen and started typing my thoughts online using xanga.
Why am I talking about this? Because something really unfortunate happened yesterday.
I was introduced to iPhone last year and I downloaded this “Awesome Note” application to use as my offline journal, when I replaced the iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 and I downloaded the application again, it restored all my previous notes from the old phone, so I don’t understand why when it crashed yesterday and I had to reinstall it, I found out that all my notes were gone! Everything is gone! My heart and soul poured out on those notes are now all gone and I literally felt like crying. I had plans for those notes and I’m gonna let go of those soon but I didn’t want to lose everything this way. It was just sooo disappointing, I felt like throwing my freaking phone!
all was there was the initial 9 notes, I had 40+ notes!! I even customized the bookmarks!
