Chapter 4 Huaichun's Diary

If you keep a diary, at what age did you start writing it? C said that he started to keep a diary when he was fifteen years old.I said that I didn't start keeping a diary until I was twenty-four. He was very stunned and asked me: "Why did you start so late? Writing a diary is usually done when you are in Huaichun. In the days of Huaichun, there are so many things to record." The only explanation I can think of is that I started Huaichun very late. When I was a teenager, I also kept a diary, but every time I gave up halfway.Starting from the age of twenty-four is serious writing.Perhaps, my life is only worth writing down when I am twenty-four years old.

I asked C: "What do you write in your diary?" He said: "Write about mood, fantasy, and my longing for girls. What about you?" Ashamed, I just write down what happens every day.The words in the diary, to me, are just symbols, used to help me recall what happened that day, my mood, the smile and sadness that day.If someone stole my diary, he wouldn't be able to read it, and he wouldn't know what really happened that day. I asked C: "Would you deceive yourself when writing your diary? I would." He said: "When a man writes a diary, he is more naked, and he will write everything in."

"Really? Then can I read your diary?" I asked.
