At some point in our lives, we've all turned to diaries and journals as sacred places where we can open up and unabashedly say how we feel. Diaries don't judge; rather, they're reliable outlets for us to share our most personal feelings, good or bad.
On Knock Knock [1], Rachel Antonoff's new series from POPSUGAR and Watchable [2], Power star and former member of girl group 3LW Naturi Naughton shows Rachel around her set but also reveals that she's been carrying around a journal for as long as she can remember. She shares an example of the types of memories she's been documenting in her journal and why she does it.
"Sometimes I can't contain it and I'm like, 'I have to write this down,'" she starts, holding her journal in her hand. "I grew up obsessed with Whitney Houston and I got to meet her when I was 8 years old in Newark, NJ. I got to sit in her lap and tell her what I wanted for Christmas. [Those] moments that we have every day go by so fast, but if we cherish those moments and remember them, that's what makes life so beautiful."
Lesson learned: we should all be writing everything down, even if we aren't meeting Whitney Houston.
