Proposal for a Testimonial Card on Front Page
Mon Aug 19 2024

Hullo everyone!
So, I've been talking with MissTick, who's written a really poignant entry about the friendships made over the years and the lasting impact that DearDiary has made on her life - and I realised that many of you are saying similar things - especially as many of you have left comments on each other's diaries saying as much!

With the return of DD, and the potential for a whole new generation of diarists and journallers coming along (hopefully), and the fact that the whole concept of the DearDiary community is so different to that of 'social media' (which frankly should be called anti-social media in many cases - but I digress), I wonder if you guys would put together a couple of sentences which could be used on a 'Testimonials' card on the front page.

Just a couple of sentences about what DD means to you. If you provide me with a link to a previous entry where you've highlighted the friendships you've made or how it's helped you in the past, I will link to that entry from the testimonial. Let me know if you would like the testimonial attributed to your real name or your DD username. If you don't specify which then I'll use your DD username 😀

Send them as a comment on this entry if you would please - use private or public, it's up to you.

Thanks everyone! Let's rekindle some of those old friendships and start creating new ones too!

    Dear Diary is unique on the internets. A soothing place for those who are looking for a less frenetic place to express their thoughts, with the added benefit of a welcoming community, should you desire it. And anonymity if that's what you prefer. Welcome! Recent thoughts on the subject found here: https://www.deardiary.net/diary/65561/viewentry/1510460

    Dear Diary has brought solace to me back in a day. I believe running into Dear Diary online was no accident when I was looking for a place to write my thoughts down. It was an amazing feeling and experience that was one day I 2000-2001. I have been with DD ever since and through the changes and the move, and the return of Dear Diary back to its former glory of 25 years ago. It is worth the years of waiting at this end. I love it here.

      Thanks for this KSmiley - do you have a particular post you would like me to link to go with this?

    DearDiary is a place where you can be your naked self, stripped from the need to fit in with the others, without the need to pretend to be someone that you aren't...a place where you could find yourself wrapped in a warm blanket of understanding from all the sides of the world you've never been and may never go...And to me personally, DD has become a journey to find out who I was, who I am and who I want to be...and we all know - this journey never ends...
