With this question, you just wrote your first entry.

Your second entry could be answers you received in the comments. Did any of them stand out to you?

Your future entries could include a poem you came across and liked. Or a news story you read. How did it make you feel?

Documenting outside the written word is also an option. Take pictures. Make a note of a song you heard. These can serve as springboards for introspection.

If you're someone who likes to look back and read earlier entries, you might screenshot or print this post and tape it inside your diary.

Anything that brings the personal jouralism of your life, to life.

see, theres the crux of the issues, i never liked things i made (pushing aside as to why)
even today, when is art, i do not like to look back upon it

I don't like to look back on my creations either. Isn't that weird? I don't know where that comes from. Maybe I was judged a lot when I was young and so I have some fear of the possibility of shame. You would think that the nature of a diary (privacy) would help to assuage that fear but it doesn't.
