Keyword: aita for writing something in my journal
Summary: This article explores the seemingly innocuous question, "aita for writing something in my journal?", revealing surprising complexities surrounding privacy, self-expression, and potential legal ramifications. We delve into the ethical considerations involved in personal writing, examining how seemingly private thoughts can have unintended consequences and the implications for individuals and society.
Introduction: The Unexpected Weight of Private Words
The seemingly simple question, "aita (am I the ahole) for writing something in my journal?" has become surprisingly prevalent online. While a journal is traditionally considered a sacred space for private thoughts and feelings, the rise of digital platforms and social media has blurred the lines of privacy, raising complex ethical questions. This article examines the varied scenarios where "aita for writing something in my journal" might be a legitimate concern, considering the nuances of self-expression, potential legal implications, and the impact on personal relationships.
The Spectrum of Journal Entries: From Harmless Musings to Legal Concerns
The ethical considerations surrounding journal entries are highly context-dependent. A straightforward account of a day's events poses little ethical dilemma. However, the "aita for writing something in my journal" query frequently arises when entries involve potentially harmful content. This includes:
Crimes or Threats: Documenting plans to commit a crime, whether a minor infraction or a serious felony, is unequivocally unethical and potentially illegal. Law enforcement could use such entries as evidence. The question of "aita" becomes irrelevant; the act itself is illegal.
Defamation or Libel: Writing defamatory statements about another individual, especially if those statements are untrue and published (even within the confines of a personal journal), could lead to legal repercussions. The line between private expression and public harm is crucial here. The “aita” question needs to be considered alongside potential legal consequences.
Disclosure of Confidential Information: Journaling about sensitive information obtained in a confidential context, such as during therapy or professional work, constitutes a significant breach of ethics. The professional code of conduct in many fields explicitly prohibits such disclosures. The "aita" question in this scenario is easily answered: yes.
Emotional Outbursts and Hurtful Statements: While a journal serves as an outlet for intense emotions, entries containing extremely harsh judgments or hateful statements directed at others might have unintended consequences if discovered. While not always illegal, such entries can severely damage relationships if revealed. This leads to the ethical question of responsibility for managing one’s emotional expression, even within the private space of a journal.
The Digital Age and the Erosion of Privacy
The advent of digital journaling introduces additional layers of complexity. Storing journal entries on a computer or cloud storage raises the risk of hacking, data breaches, and unauthorized access. This raises the “aita” question in a new light: is it irresponsible to keep deeply personal, potentially vulnerable information in a format that is not completely secure? The answer, in many cases, is yes. Protecting personal information should be paramount.
Navigating the "AITA" Dilemma: A Framework for Ethical Journaling
The best approach to avoid finding yourself asking "aita for writing something in my journal" is preventative. Consider these guidelines:
Self-Awareness: Be mindful of your emotional state and the potential impact of your words, both on yourself and others.
Responsible Disclosure: Consider the potential consequences of your entries being discovered.
Digital Security: Employ strong passwords and encryption to protect your digital journals.
Legal Counsel: If you have concerns about the legal implications of your writing, seek legal counsel.
Conclusion: The Power and Responsibility of Private Writing
The seemingly simple act of writing in a journal carries significant weight. The question "aita for writing something in my journal?" highlights the crucial intersection of personal expression, ethical responsibility, and potential legal repercussions. By exercising self-awareness, considering the implications of our words, and prioritizing digital security, we can harness the therapeutic power of journaling while mitigating the risks associated with its inherently private nature.

Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a single day. At times he couldn’t walk across a room, or even name his five children. Doctors told him he would never fully recover. After eight years, the cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became more than he could manage. As a result of one final effort to recover, he crossed paths with two brilliant Chicago-area research-clinicians—one an optometrist emphasizing neurodevelopmental techniques, the other a cognitive psychologist—working on the leading edge of brain plasticity. Within weeks the ghost of who he had been started to re-emerge. Remarkably, Elliott kept detailed notes throughout his experience, from the moment of impact to the final stages of his recovery, astounding documentation that is the basis of this fascinating book. The Ghost in My Brain gives hope to the millions who suffer from head injuries each year, and provides a unique and informative window into the world’s most complex computational device: the human brain. |

In addition to the extensively researched and reported text, the book includes both historical photographs and production materials, as well as still-frames, behind-the-scenes photos, posters, and original interviews with Noah Baumbach, Larry Clark, Greta Gerwig, Walter Hill, Jerry Schatzberg, Martin Scorsese, Susan Seidelman, Oliver Stone, and Jennifer Westfeldt.

| aita for writing something in my journal: Precipice Fruit Sara Biggs Chaney, 2013-10 Precipice Fruit tells the story of Jenna, a young girl with an autistic spectrum diagnosis whose spirit transcends the stigmatizing forces around her. Often pigeon holed, manhandled, and misunderstood by her doctors and teachers,Jenna blossoms into a young girl with a perspective entirely her own. Different points of view clash against each other in this series of poems-the cold objectivity of the clinician, the private terror and faith of the mother, the punitive decree of the teacher, the spirited self-narration of the child. These voices struggle against each other, leaving us to consider how institutions author children with a disabilities, and the harm they do in the process. In the poem At the Library, the speaker declares When we go in, we go through. This is the journey we are taken on in Sara Biggs Chaney's Precipice Fruit. Co-opting the language of the clinician, of the I.E.P. summary, of the fearful parent, and finally the child, she weaves these disparate voices into a single narrative. We begin at what is unknown and therefore fearful, and we end on what is unknowable and therefore filled with hope. It is a deft examination of love, grief, and the reclamation of joy. ~ Liz Kay, editor burntdistrict |
| aita for writing something in my journal: Little Astronaut: A Memoir in Essays Maryann Aita, 2022-03-14 Maryann grows up alone within a family of six, shrouded by her sister's anorexia, her brother's cancer, and her mother's affair with alcohol. With her childhood consumed by her sister's eating disorder, she braces for a future fraught with loss. Sinking deep into depression as a teenager, she struggles to understand what it means to love those around her, and questions whether being loved is worth the cost. After her sister's recovery and her brother's remission, she's left to comb the depths of her loneliness and confront the darkest pall of her adolescence: her mother's drinking. In moving from her hometown in Montana to New York City, she finds a place where those who are alone are not always lonely, and begins to define love, loneliness, and intimacy for herself. Through experimentation with form, the book captures the perspectives of Maryann's adult and childhood selves, as well as her experience of mental illness. Flipping through its pages, readers will discover a tapestry of image and white space, scenes written in screenplay, faux news articles, a one-woman show, a Punnett square, a poetry-prose hybrid, a report card, sketches, and math problems. LITTLE ASTRONAUT is a literary kaleidoscope blending the cerebral and emotional, and humor with darkness. The book explores anxiety and depression next to the intricacies of Barbie sex and a failed driving test. These essays dig into the tiny, intimate moments that stitch us together: awaiting sunrise on Christmas mornings with a brother, the unexpected grief of finding a wounded bird, and the meaning of objects passed between sisters. LITTLE ASTRONAUT is, at its heart, the story of a woman redefining intimacy after a lifetime of self-imposed detachment. Literary Nonfiction. |

In Mycophilia, accomplished food writer and cookbook author Eugenia Bone examines the role of fungi as exotic delicacy, curative, poison, and hallucinogen, and ultimately discovers that a greater understanding of fungi is key to facing many challenges of the 21st century. Engrossing, surprising, and packed with up-to-date science and cultural exploration, Mycophilia is part narrative and part primer for foodies, science buffs, environmental advocates, and anyone interested in learning a lot about one of the least understood and most curious organisms in nature. |
| aita for writing something in my journal: Ambiguous Loss Pauline BOSS, Pauline Boss, 2009-06-30 When a loved one dies we mourn our loss. We take comfort in the rituals that mark the passing, and we turn to those around us for support. But what happens when there is no closure, when a family member or a friend who may be still alive is lost to us nonetheless? How, for example, does the mother whose soldier son is missing in action, or the family of an Alzheimer's patient who is suffering from severe dementia, deal with the uncertainty surrounding this kind of loss? In this sensitive and lucid account, Pauline Boss explains that, all too often, those confronted with such ambiguous loss fluctuate between hope and hopelessness. Suffered too long, these emotions can deaden feeling and make it impossible for people to move on with their lives. Yet the central message of this book is that they can move on. Drawing on her research and clinical experience, Boss suggests strategies that can cushion the pain and help families come to terms with their grief. Her work features the heartening narratives of those who cope with ambiguous loss and manage to leave their sadness behind, including those who have lost family members to divorce, immigration, adoption, chronic mental illness, and brain injury. With its message of hope, this eloquent book offers guidance and understanding to those struggling to regain their lives. Table of Contents: 1. Frozen Grief 2. Leaving without Goodbye 3. Goodbye without Leaving 4. Mixed Emotions 5. Ups and Downs 6. The Family Gamble 7. The Turning Point 8. Making Sense out of Ambiguity 9. The Benefit of a Doubt Notes Acknowledgments Reviews of this book: You will find yourself thinking about the issues discussed in this book long after you put it down and perhaps wishing you had extra copies for friends and family members who might benefit from knowing that their sorrows are not unique...This book's value lies in its giving a name to a force many of us will confront--sadly, more than once--and providing personal stories based on 20 years of interviews and research. --Pamela Gerhardt, Washington Post Reviews of this book: A compassionate exploration of the effects of ambiguous loss and how those experiencing it handle this most devastating of losses ... Boss's approach is to encourage families to talk together, to reach a consensus about how to mourn that which has been lost and how to celebrate that which remains. Her simple stories of families doing just that contain lessons for all. Insightful, practical, and refreshingly free of psychobabble. --Kirkus Review Reviews of this book: Engagingly written and richly rewarding, this title presents what Boss has learned from many years of treating individuals and families suffering from uncertain or incomplete loss...The obvious depth of the author's understanding of sufferers of ambiguous loss and the facility with which she communicates that understanding make this a book to be recommended. --R. R. Cornellius, Choice Reviews of this book: Written for a wide readership, the concepts of ambiguous loss take immediate form through the many provocative examples and stories Boss includes, All readers will find stories with which they will relate...Sensitive, grounded and practical, this book should, in my estimation, be required reading for family practitioners. --Ted Bowman, Family Forum Reviews of this book: Dr. Boss describes [the] all-too-common phenomenon [of unresolved grief] as resulting from either of two circumstances: when the lost person is still physically present but emotionally absent or when the lost person is physically absent but still emotionally present. In addition to senility, physical presence but psychological absence may result, for example, when a person is suffering from a serious mental disorder like schizophrenia or depression or debilitating neurological damage from an accident or severe stroke, when a person abuses drugs or alcohol, when a child is autistic or when a spouse is a workaholic who is not really 'there' even when he or she is at home...Cases of physical absence with continuing psychological presence typically occur when a soldier is missing in action, when a child disappears and is not found, when a former lover or spouse is still very much missed, when a child 'loses' a parent to divorce or when people are separated from their loved ones by immigration...Professionals familiar with Dr. Boss's work emphasised that people suffering from ambiguous loss were not mentally ill, but were just stuck and needed help getting past the barrier or unresolved grief so that they could get on with their lives. --Asian Age Combining her talents as a compassionate family therapist and a creative researcher, Pauline Boss eloquently shows the many and complex ways that people can cope with the inevitable losses in contemporary family life. A wise book, and certain to become a classic. --Constance R. Ahrons, author of The Good Divorce A powerful and healing book. Families experiencing ambiguous loss will find strategies for seeing what aspects of their loved ones remain, and for understanding and grieving what they have lost. Pauline Boss offers us both insight and clarity. --Kathy Weingarten, Ph.D, The Family Institute of Cambridge, Harvard Medical School |

| aita for writing something in my journal: The Samoan Journals of John Williams, 1830 and 1832 John Williams, 1984 John Williams was not the first London Missionary Society missionary to Polynesia, but his passion to conquer the whole Pacific region, and resolute belief that he knew better than the Directors in London how this vision might be achieved marked him out as an ambitious and aggressive man. Samoa, the setting of thses journals, was the last island group where Williams' personally introduced the gospel before he was murdered at Eromanga... Of the several journals kept by Williams during his pan-Polynesian travels, the two relating to his visits to Samoa in 1830 and 1832 are the most comprehensive and illuminating. In the course of both journeys Williams also visited Tonga, and provided graphic eye-witness accounts of contemporary Tongan and European life...--Book jacket. |
| aita for writing something in my journal: Language Contact in the Early Colonial Pacific Emanuel J. Drechsel, 2014-03-27 This volume presents a historical-sociolinguistic description and analysis of Maritime Polynesian Pidgin. It offers linguistic and sociohistorical substantiation for a regional Eastern Polynesian-based pidgin, and challenges conventional Eurocentric assumptions about early colonial contact in the eastern Pacific by arguing that Maritime Polynesian Pidgin preceded the introduction of Pidgin English by as much as a century. Emanuel J. Drechsel not only opens up new methodological avenues for historical-sociolinguistic research in Oceania by a combination of philology and ethnohistory, but also gives greater recognition to Pacific Islanders in early contact between cultures. Students and researchers working on language contact, language typology, historical linguistics and sociolinguistics will want to read this book. It redefines our understanding of how Europeans and Americans interacted with Pacific Islanders in Eastern Polynesia during early encounters and offers an alternative model of language contact. |

Fernando Aramburu's Homeland is an epic and heartbreaking story of two best friends whose families are divided by the conflicting loyalties of terrorism. ‘It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that was so persuasive and moving’ – Mario Vargas Llosa, author of Time of the Hero. The Basque Country, Spain, 2011. Miren and Bittori have lived side by side in a small Basque town all their lives. Their husbands play cards together, their children play and eventually go out drinking together. The terrorist threat posed by ETA seems to affect them little. When Bittori’s husband starts receiving threatening letters – demanding money, accusing him of being a police informant – she turns to her friend for help. But Miren’s loyalties are torn: her son has just been recruited as a terrorist and to denounce them would be to condemn her own flesh and blood. Tensions rise, relationships fracture, and events move towards a tragic conclusion . . . ‘Is Aramburu the Tolstoy of the Basque country, author of a Spanish language War and Peace?’ – Guardian |

Arkin, 2011-09-09 This is the story of an airpower-dominated campaign, one that was deeply flawed in its design yet impressive in its efficiency. This quick-look study is based upon visits to damaged sites, villages, towns, and cities; discussions with government and military officials; and experience of having evaluated airpower and its effects in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the former Yugoslavia (and previously in Lebanon). Months of follow-up research included exchanges with Israeli, Lebanese, Hezbollah, and US experts. The intent was to develop a timely airpower narrative to enhance professional military education and planning. About the author: William M. Arkin is an independent military analyst, journalist, and author. He writes the Early Warning column for washingtonpost.com (where he previously wrote the DOT.MIL column from 1998 to 2003) and is a longtime NBC News military analyst.(Originally published by Air University Press) |

Poor children have fewer opportunities than their peers to resources that are important for child development. At the same time, the prevalence of developmental disabilities has increased to 1 in every 6 children. Early identification of developmental delays is critical, and more than half of all American parents do not know the warning signs. Occupational therapy professionals in early intervention and preschool practice can provide the necessary services to support children's health in early childhood. This Practice Guideline explains the occupational therapy process for young children--and their families, caregivers, and teachers--which includes evaluation, intervention, and outcomes planning to enhance a child's occupational performance, adaptation, health and wellness, community participation, role competence, and self-advocacy. Topics include social-emotional development; feeding, eating, and swallowing; cognitive and motor development; service delivery; autism; obesity, cerebral palsy; and parent training. This work can help occupational therapy practitioners, as well as those who manage, reimburse, or set policy regarding occupational therapy services, understand the contribution of occupational therapy in evaluating and serving young children.

| aita for writing something in my journal: Red, White & Royal Blue Casey McQuiston, 2019-05-14 * Instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestseller * * GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER for BEST DEBUT and BEST ROMANCE of 2019 * * BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR* for VOGUE, NPR, VANITY FAIR, and more! * What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales? When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic. I took this with me wherever I went and stole every second I had to read! Absorbing, hilarious, tender, sexy—this book had everything I crave. I’m jealous of all the readers out there who still get to experience Red, White & Royal Blue for the first time! - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty, and thrilling. I loved every second. - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six |

| aita for writing something in my journal: Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process Aota, 2014 As occupational therapy celebrates its centennial in 2017, attention returns to the profession's founding belief in the value of therapeutic occupations as a way to remediate illness and maintain health. The founders emphasized the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship with each client and designing an intervention plan based on the knowledge about a client's context and environment, values, goals, and needs. Using today's lexicon, the profession's founders proposed a vision for the profession that was occupation based, client centered, and evidence based--the vision articulated in the third edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process. The Framework is a must-have official document from the American Occupational Therapy Association. Intended for occupational therapy practitioners and students, other health care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers, the Framework summarizes the interrelated constructs that describe occupational therapy practice. In addition to the creation of a new preface to set the tone for the work, this new edition includes the following highlights: a redefinition of the overarching statement describing occupational therapy's domain; a new definition of clients that includes persons, groups, and populations; further delineation of the profession's relationship to organizations; inclusion of activity demands as part of the process; and even more up-to-date analysis and guidance for today's occupational therapy practitioners. Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation is the overarching statement that describes the domain and process of occupational therapy in the fullest sense. The Framework can provide the structure and guidance that practitioners can use to meet this important goal. |

| aita for writing something in my journal: Everything We Create Smells Like the Earth Paul McGlamery, 2014-09-22 Poetry. EVERYTHING WE CREATE SMELLS LIKE THE EARTH is a rhapsodic primal scream for lovers of poetry today. Reading this volume of poems was similar to sitting down over a stiff drink with Allen Ginsburg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti and chit-chatting about the predicament of the world. Paul McGlamery reminds us of our ever present relationship with Mother Earth and yet the nuances and mysteries of primitive life are still resonating in our modern lives. As it has been, so it will be. This book is a testament to the versatility and veracity of Paul's work which is chocked full of images and word combos that will crystallize and gel like amber in your soul.--Dev Galey McCluskie |

| aita for writing something in my journal: Temple of No God H.M. Long, 2022-02-01 Epic fantasy followup to HALL OF SMOKE, featuring crumbling empires, secretive cults and godlike powers to be claimed, for readers of Margaret Owen, Brian Staveley, V. E. Schwab and Melissa Caruso. After a brutal war between the gods, Hessa – High Priestess of the Eangen – has brokered a fragile alliance between warring tribes and bought peace to her home. But a new threat is growing in the remnants of the once-great Arpa Empire. Three factions are vying to take the throne, the vast well of raw magical power only accessible to the Emperor. Hessa knows she cannot let this chance pass by – she must intervene, to protect her peoples’ hard-won future. With the peace she has sacrificed so much for at stake, Hessa must lead an army of Algatt and Eangen warriors into the heart of enemy territory. But warring Arpa factions are not the only danger – a sinister new cult is on the rise, one that sucks the life from everything it touches. With enemies on every side and the fragile peace beginning to waver, Hessa must decide who to place on the throne – no matter what it may cost her. |
| aita for writing something in my journal: The Daughter's Diary Frances Fergie, Mark Peters, 2014-08-20 The year 1887. A journey around the world. Two women, mother and daughter, set off from Australia and travel for nine months. The mother, Victorian in every way; the teenage daughter seeing the world for the first time. Their diaries record their travels, their thoughts, their encounters with friends, family and strangers. 'The Daughter's Diary' expands on the two original documents with masses of detail to fill in the picture of what the Fergies did, where they visited, and who they met. About four hundred people were named in the diaries, many of whom were related to the Fergies. The research into these individuals provides a rich source of information for amateur genealogists interested in the names Fergie, Taplin, Seymour, Catchpole, Crosbie, Gilbey, Frye, Forbes, Tanner, Walker, Allan and many others. It provides information about what people were doing and how they interacted with others - information not usually recoverable from civil registration or parish documents, or even military records. The book is a companion volume to 'A Voyage to England 1887' published in 2012. which included the diary of Henry Penketh Fergie, husband of one Frances Fergie and father of the other. Henry travelled with his wife and daughter in 1887, but once in England their paths diverged for several weeks at a time. While Henry visited Liverpool and Wigan in the north, his wife and daughter visited Basingstoke, Winchester and Dropmore in the south. |
| aita for writing something in my journal: Good Morning to Everyone Except Men Who Name Their Dogs Zeus Lannie Stabile, 2021-06-09 In this poetry collection, Lannie Stabile explores the patriarchal culture that firstly leads men to call their dogs Zeus, and secondly leads us all to accept that as kind-of okay--ignoring the fact that all-powerful Zeus, symbol of masculinity and thunder god, famously used his dominion to manipulate, abduct, and prey on countless women, human and deity alike. Interspersing Greek mythology with personal tales, weaving between adult and childhood narratives, Stabile masterfully brings together modern and ancient stories that will resonate deeply with the impact of a lightning strike. In dealing with heavy topics like depression and sexual assault, the author gives voice to the thoughts, feelings, and bodily experiences of countless people who find it so difficult to connect with, let alone express, their experiences.--Amazon website. |

| aita for writing something in my journal: The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Globetrotter Christian Graugart, 2012-11-13 I didn't care about what would happen. He might win the match, but he could never beat me. I was living my dream, traveling the world with complete freedom. Nothing could put me down. The play button was pressed again. My opponent took my back and I tapped to a bow and arrow choke. I laughed and shook his hand, as I stood back up. I was out of the competition. Everything was perfect. Life couldn't be better. After a training partner commits suicide, Christian Graugart feels obliged to do something with his life. Starting his own gym, dedicating almost all his time to the art of BJJ, alters everything, including the way he sees himself. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Globetrotter is not only a story about traveling and training in martial arts. It's about all the things that can happen to you if you choose to truly stay alive until you actually die. |
