Help! He Found My Journal!

We can all agree that when someone finds your journal, it is nothing short of absolutely mortifying! As part of my journey be it emotional, physical, mental or spiritual, I recommend keeping a journal of your progress for encouragement and motivation, and it struck my mind today…. “What if someone found my journal!?”

I have been lucky enough to never have been through this ordeal myself but I do know one or two people who have not been so lucky.

“I keep a journal of my feelings and experiences in an effort to help me with my meditation and personal development, I find that when I keep a journal, I’m so much more focused and able to thoroughly relax into my meditation but if I skip a few journal entries I get flustered and it becomes more difficult to clear my mind. I keep my journal in a word document which I am very protective of.

One horrifying day, my new boyfriend came over to have lunch, we were just deciding where to go and he asked if he could quickly use my computer to send an email, I had no worries about this as I knew my journal was minimised and my task bar was locked down so he wouldn’t accidentally open it.

BUT …. he attached a word document from his USB to the email, and as he double clicked, word opened and my computer is a little slow so there was my journal … frozen open with my bold, underlined and over-sized key words staring back at him … it seemed to take forever for his document to open and replace my virtual heart and soul.

The moment seemed to last forever, I went beetroot red as soon as I saw the reflection of my open journal in the living room window. I had no idea how to handle it so I pretended I hadn’t noticed, quickly turned around and to this day neither of us have ever mentioned it” Anonymous

That unnerving anecdote came from one of my friends and now, I would like to hear your stories!

Has your journal ever been discovered? How did it happen? What did you do? How did you feel? Or …. Have you ever discovered someone’s journal!?

Be brave and tell us all about the time when your journal or diary has been uncovered from its sacred hiding place!
