As you might already know when you browse through my old journals, you may still find some outdated ones where you can read what kind of a spoiled, selfcentered little bastard I was back then. =3

It might've occured to you that I don't seem to have deleted these journals and the most simplistic answer I can give is: "Why should I!?"
Some people after they've made a mistake, delete their journal. Saying that they're turning over a new leaf, that everything is forgiven and forgotten or because they made a mistake and see no reason for the journal to exist anymore.

I on the other hand want to show people that I'm human, that I'm a failable creature and that I, like everyone else, is bound to make mistakes.
Thus I keep these journals to show people how much I have grown and what I have learned in all these years.
I could play 'Mr. Perfect' by deleting some inciminating journals, but I'd rather keep them as a memento to tell myself and others: "This is how I was and this is where I am right now!".


If I make a mistake, I want everyone to know it. Since you all learn from your mistakes as I learn from mine. ^^
I want to show people that, no matter how good a person looks or how perfect his life and success might seem, their lives don't always have a silver lining. They might have done things, experienced things that they are asshamed of and want to forget, delete or remove as soon as possible.

My advice is to accept your mistakes as they are a part of who you are, learn from those lessons and move on. =3
I want to show people what kind of person I am without lying about myself, telling them what kind of person I truly am.

'forgive and forget' is one thing, but don't lose yourself in the fantasy that you have matured already. We all keep learning in our lives, we all discover moments where we thought: "Ouch! I could've done that better" or "I shouldn't have done\say this\that".

A bad penny always turns up, but it's your choice what you're gonna do with that penny.
