Write it down if you have to. Just don't let the page be the only place you're honest.

I had never heard a Swahili song that spoke to the ladies who keep diaries. Honestly, in my opinion, diaries are more of a Western culture. I think East African ladies would rather call their friends than write in a book with a ton of pages.
My favourite line is “It's where I write the lies I tell myself when I'm around you.”
The acoustic guitar is the main instrument. I love how hypnotising it sounds, and everything got better from there.
Some feelings are easier to write down than to say out loud. That's what the diary is for.
Write it down if you have to. Just don't let the page be the only place you're honest.
