How easy it was to refuse food we didn’t like or things we didn’t want to do when we were young. We just simply said: NO!!!
Later on we learnt how to express ourselves in a more (socially) acceptable way and many times we tend to forget to say no. How much easier our lives would be if we could say again no easily like when we were younger. I am not saying of course to start screaming and throwing toys on the floor. Neither to start shouting, so everyone can hear us: NO! I am thinking on the ability to be able to refuse anything which is disadvantageous for us without feeling guilty about it.

In our digital world, we have plenty of opportunities to record all these things. Does it still make sense to write a diary?
