It's wonderful to have it written down, and was interesting to see what I had written.
There were things in there that I'd forgotten about which it's been nice to remember and some bizarre stories. There were entries which were part story, half real and 70% lie and some things which I didn't want to transcribe, partly in case anyone ever read them, but mainly because I didn't really want to remember those things in the future, considering how little I enjoyed remembering them now.
I transcribed it all though, and I am never going to do it again.
I wish I'd done more before I decided this, because it's lovely having it all written out like that, but about half an hour after I'd finished I thought of something I wanted to write in my diary. I then thought, 'what's the point of writing it in my diary if I'm just going to transcribe my diaries then throw them away?' 'I might as well just write all of my thoughts into text documents in the first place!'.
What a sad state of affairs it would be if I stopped writing my thoughts onto paper! I find it so difficult to think in order if I don't write things down. So no more putting diaries onto the computer, I'll just have to find the space for the paper diaries, and find ways of making sure people never find them.
