I'm currently working on a journal to give to my SO after we close the distance. Since we live in diff time zones and our schedules are different we wont get to talk much during the week. So I started a journal that is basically all letters to him, and I put pictures, lyrics, poems, etc in it too. Like a chronicle of our LDR. I thought it would make a nice gift plus we can keep it forever so someday maybe our kids can read it or something. Plus it keeps my head clear as I write everything down. Anyone else do something like this? Feel free to use the idea too. I picked a hardcover journal that has an elastic strap on it and is my favorite color.

I did a version of this with an ex-boyfriend. I would keep a journal of all of our adventures (we were CD) and every month on our monthiversary he would get to read through it, and he would usually make an entry or two before giving it back. At the end of our relationship I gave it to him --- we ended very amiably. It was almost like a collection of love letters that I wrote for him. Some of my best work went into that book.Why do you wait for me?
How do you wait for me?
I'm lost and alone without you here in my arms.
I'm lost and alone without you here by my side.
Here's a song for you, lovely
Remember that it's for you only, for you only.
My heart is caught in a landslide
And it beats for you only, for you only.
-"My Lovely" by Eisley

I'd had a journal going before I found this forum. My blog on here has pretty much replaced it. I wasn't going to show my SO the journal, because a lot of it was me writing about my insecurities and missing him...I think it'd make him sad and maybe feel bad if he read it. I didn't bash him in it, I just wrote how I was feeling about everything.

I started something similar and I was writing in it religiously but it turned into something that seemed more like venting so I decided to keep it for myself... its better for our relationshipI love you Nathan <3
