DO NOT DISGARD YOUR PRIOR JOURNALS. REREAD THEM AND RIP OUT THOSE PAGES WHERE YOU WORRY THAT A FAMILY MEMBER MIGHT BE HURT IF THEY WERE TO READ YOUR DIARY

BUT KEEP THE REMAINDER OF YOUR DARY AND CONTINUE TO READ IT. YOU WILL LEARN SO MUCH ABOUT YOURSELF IN YOUR PRIOR JOURNALS AND WHAT TO DO AND NOT DO IN THE FUTURE.
