The idea attracts me. How do I hide it from my gf, though?
>>25341483get one of those journals with a lock
You can keep one on your computer, there are several programs that allow for an encrypted text document. Hell, keepassxc has one I think.
>>25341483Write in a bad handwriting that only you can read
Learn a language she doesn't know and write the diary in it
Hide it in plain sight
>>25341769Journaling through a screen is not the same
>>25341483Develop a secret code.Don't just substitute each letters for a symbol - that's too easy to crack. Instead, try using two substitution methods simultaneously. Two sets of symbols mixed into the same document is pretty fucking uncrackable to most people.
if she goes through your things then she is a bad gf. you are allowed privacy and boundaries.
She is going to find it no matter what you try to do to hide it. Women love nothing more than snooping on your possessions behind your back, and they're much better at it than we can conceptualize. Serves you right for keeping a diary. The only way to recover from this is buying a boat and keeping your CAPTAIN'S LOG locked in the CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS where women cannot enter
>>25341483Ask yourself why it matters if she knows. Alternatively if you're writing it so you get caught. Just write a journal you fucking tard, nobody is going to give a shit unless you're fucking her sister in which case, se above.
>>25342608>Women love nothing more than snooping on your possessions behind your back, and they're much better at it than we can conceptualize.Super true. The prospect of getting an unfiltered look into their partner's mind is simply too good for them to resist. You can exploit this by putting a decoy journal about how much you love your girlfriend in a shitty hiding spot.
encrypted partition / drive or gpg
>>25342240Very true. Also I'd like to have something physical that I could look back in a decade or two. I doubt any of my electronic stuff will last that much.>>25342300Kinda kills the possibility of getting in the zone and just let the thoughts flow into the page.>>25341492Gay, but probably the best solution yet.
