Hey ,the vampire diaries changed my life .it really did but of course I'm not going to explain why online.Al I can say is the elena inspired me so I decided to have a diary (like her) .i went to the stores and I bought one (green like hers).Since I was a little child a lot of times I tried to keep a diary but every night I felt bored and so I wrote once in a while .This time it was different I treated my diary like elena does,I can wright things that I could never tell anyone not just describe what I did my whole boring day.Guys believe me it really changed me , at start It felt boring but then it became my best friend I explain my feelings and my problems and my thoughts(yes I do write how I spent my day but just the important things because as stefan said memories are too important)Truth is keeping a diary the way Elena does has changed me ,sometimes in my everyday life I even act like her , people who know me and have watched tvd tell me I even look like her in the way I use words.Actually that diary turned me into a better person because I want to be proud of what I write in my diary -of who I am -)!i totally recommend you to get a diary and do what I did
