Today's quote

For someone like me, it is a very strange habit to write in a diary. Not only that I have never written before, but it strikes me that later neither I, nor anyone else, will care for the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl.

~Anne Frank

mi permetto di dire che scrivere in un diario è una eccezionale abitudine perchè sei a nudo con te stessa e ti liberi di paure, drammi che a volte non si ha la forza di confessare neanche a se stessi
