My Diaries

publishing my diaries from when I was in my teens is a weird thing to do! And - it presents me with various dilemmas. I have decided to use initials for most of my friends. I have also decided not to put in all the negative moany things I wrote. So, in fact, I am editting my image, trying to give the impression of someone more cheerful and pleasant than I actually was. I'll apologise for that here. If I published it verbatim I would have some psychotherapist hunting me down to give me therapy (or I would lose all my fb friends, who would see me for the adult-with-miserable-child-inside that I am.
I have also decided that I can manage to publish 2 years at once, so this year I'm tackling 1970 and 1971. There are gaps in 1971, when clearly, the misery of life prevented me from writing. In 1971 I was 14, so maybe I can be forgiven my moodiness.
