Hi, this is my WikiDiary and I'll probably maintain this page as a place where I write all my essays, rather than this just being one of them in particular.

Entry 1
Its hard to move on from mistakes of the past. Especially in this age of social justice where you will be cancelled for saying something politically incorrect once. But its possible. People will always hold you to your mistakes and try to make sure you can't grow past them. This world is filled with people who know exactly how to victimize themselves to get what they want, and thats why you have to be on the lookout that you do not do something that people can hold against you. And remember, unlike what most kids my age would say, giving people second chances is a good thing. (6,742)

Entry 2
“everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days”, Hannah Montana wisely said on her song “Nobody’s Perfect”, and it’s true. The thing that makes mistakes, mistakes, is that they’re accidental. So if something is accidental that means it’s never truly a reflection of the person who did it and they shouldn’t be judged by it. And as a self admitted nerdy girl I make a lot of mistakes, especially socially. Some people are a good sport about it but some give me flack. Now, does someone making a mistake deserve to be bashed? After all it’s accidental. Something to think about. Life is neverending. We can learn. As someone who makes mistakes, we must learn to forgive. It does happen to all of us just like Hannah said!

Entry 3
This entry is about procrastination. Lets face it, if we're alive, we're procrastinating on something. We can't do everything at once, and its true that nobody's perfect. So what does that tell us? There is something left for us to do that would improve our life. None of us have completed all our goals. So, if you're reading this, I want to encourage you to go out and get it. Put the pieces together. Find that one big thing that will tremendously improve your life. Whether its going to the gym, whether its finally asking that boy out. Anything. I used to be that girl whose parents told her she can't do anything, because my country's too unsafe for girls. But I'm out there now, making things happen. It will all fall into place once you figure out that one thing!

Entry 4
About hypnosis, it doesn't need to be a subconscious process. One can hypnotize themselves by just affirmations. Keep saying it to yourself. The world will keep saying you're a loser, they'll keep saying it until you start believing it. Tell yourself, "I am amazing." Keep the faith. You have to hypnotize yourself to believe you're already successful if you want to become successful. I'm one of these people that are naturally pessimistic. I even took the Myers Briggs test and it confirmed what I had always thought. You HAVE to affirm to yourself your own ambitions. If you keep relying on the world for motivation, it will all fall flat on your face.

Entry 5
Ever felt like something isn't worth your time? Well, if it feels so, it probably isn't. I'm at that age where you're supposed to decide your profession. I'm asked to decide if I'd like to travel abroad, when I will get married, everything. So if you have so many new things coming into your life you will have to drop something. So, if you read my previous essay, this acts like the reciprocal to that. If there is the one thing you need to find which would improve your life, you also need to find the thing you need to stop doing. Replace the things you do that do not serve you. Respect your body and soul enough to only spend its energy doing something meaningful.

Entry 6
Not everything will always go your way. Do not get suicidal over it. I remember when I was younger, it was something I learnt from my mother. She would always say that she's the unluckiest person on Earth and some dark force is out to get her every time a little thing didn't go her way. Do not do that. Not everyone in the world is out to screw you over. Sometimes (Most of the time, really) its your own mistake. There's something you need to learn and rectify so that bad things do not repeat. Thats why I say, turn everything into a lesson. If every single problem you ever go through teaches you a lesson for the future, its never truly a loss.

Entry 7
So the 7th entry is finally here. Its about wiki. My wikilife had so many ups and downs. Getting blocked, then coming back, then getting blocked, then retiring, then enforcing wikibreak scripts when that didn't work. What I wanna say is you need to keep persevering. Everyone has a bad time and a good time. When your good time is here everything will work out on its own. Just refrain from a battleground mentality and slowly you'll start seeing that what used to seem like bullying starts to look like constructive criticism. Keep a positive outlook and remember, this isn't a paid job. Sometimes, you need to let it go. Just drop the stick, nothing on here affects real life!

Entry 8
Every time you mess up in life, all you need to redeem it is a lesson learned. Thats it! No matter anything that happens, whether good or bad, if you use it as one of the stepping stones to something much more positive and greater, it is something that happened for your own good. So when you feel like you've made the worst mistake of your life, when you fuck up really badly, just think back to a better moment in time and you'll find that you slowly come out of that trouble. Then follow that up by making a learning lesson out of the mistake you made. I've found myself in situations where I do something horrible, the best way to turn that around is to vow not to do it again.

Entry 9
This entry is about moving on. Once you realize that your work somewhere is complete, maybe it is time to move on. That said, make sure you complete everything you start. I'm one of those people who have taken up some ambitious projects, and I have a habit to only stick around to it if it is particularly interesting. The bad habit I am talking about is laziness. We shouldn't need everything to be our favorite thing in the world to justify doing it. Every feeling is a phase of life, or at least a phase of your current life. Just know that all bad things shall pass, and all good things will have a sequel if you want them to. Just keep believing in yourself and the world will be yours.

Entry 10
This one is about barnstars and other user given "awards" on Wikipedia. Do not derive your self-worth from that. I accumulated almost all of my good articles and featured content during 2018-19 but was hardly awarded any of those barnstars. Ultimately, these type of things are not a measure of excellence on Wikipedia but rather just about how many friends you have. So I want to say it once again, and this also applies to real life, do not derive your self worth from accolades or your scores in exams. Be sure internally about who you are and tell yourself that you don't need validation from anyone else. I guarantee you, one day all of your fans will run out of good things to say about you so don't depend on that.

Entry 11
There are times where you have to evaluate if something is serving you. I came to a realization while reading the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson. It was to make two columns and categorize what in my life was "fuckworthy" and what was "un-fuckworthy". My conclusion is that we can spend a lot of time online, in circles where our real identity is hidden. But it does little to serve us. It is important to look at the bigger picture and realize that this does not improve our life in the long term. Every thing you actually spend time on, just stop to think if this will actually do something to further your living standards. Writing free articles online, which thousands of other people also edit, does very little of that.
