This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I tried keeping a journal once

Then my parents found it, read it, and put me in therapy for a while

I no longer keep journals

Locked folders on your phone work well in my experience. Sucks they forced you to do smth you didn't want to do or weren't ready for, I'm sorry

It sucks they violated your privacy, but there's nothing wrong with therapy. Did it for a couple years myself. Good to get it out and get someone else's perspective on things.

Of course, I did that on my own volition. It would've been better if you had that choice too.

That sucks. Parents don't understand what privacy means when it comes to their children. My diary/journal got exposed by my mother in front of the entire family. That memory just got into my mind by reading your comment. Time to forget it again. 2024 resolution is to try keep things written down again.

Was the therapy helpful?
