This week’s catalyst
is: What’s your most prized possession?


Here’s my text:

When I read this catalyst, the first thing that came to my mind were my
diaries. From nine to nineteen I wrote diaries every day. And I mean
every single day. I was the girl who never shared her secrets with
anyone but the dairies. I took them everywhere with me and all my
friends joked about reading them. But nothing deterred me. I never
shared my secrets and I loved having my diaries, knowing they never
betrayed me or shared my secrets with anyone.

After a while, I just stopped. I am not sure what did it but I didn’t
have the need or the will to write anymore. Maybe I finally started to
trust people or maybe I realized I like to share, I’m not sure. But I
haven’t successfully kept a diary since my Freshman year in college and
I don’t really miss it anymore. But I still cherish my diaries from
those years. The memories of the girl I was. The girl with the diaries.
