How would you wreck this journal?

Being that I have a functioning wood burner, I wouldn't have a problem with throwing it in there and setting it on fire. If something happened where I couldn't, I can't think of another decent method.

 

Go camping and then use it both as fire starter and fuel for the fire.

 

Knowing me, I'd just stash it away somewhere in my disorganized shelf part of the closet and forget about it. However, if there were certain things in there (usually the trigger info is past relationships that particularly hurt me), I would most likely rip it up and toss it. If I couldn't rip it in half in its entirety, I'd tear out the pages and tear those. And hey, if the notebook had pages that weren't filled, just keep those in, and now you have a new-ish notebook. Bam.

 

Let it soak in water, that would damage it enough eventually.

 

Shred the pages and throw them into several different bins. If that isn't good enough... I'd burn the shredded paper out in the middle of nowhere. Then direct an ion cannon strike on the area and order humanity to surrender to my demands. Better safe than sorry :icon_twis

 

I would tear certain pages that contain the really personal information and throw them in the trash. There's no point in burning it. I think I would throw it in the trash. I would keep other pages that contain not-so-personal information, though.

 

Drench it in water, go over it with a rolling pin, and leave it to dry out. Then rip it up and start again. Bury it in the grond afterwards.

 

Paper shredder and the trash bin.

 

I would tear up a page a day and remind myself that I'm better than what's written on it. As the journal gets progressively smaller it would be a reminder of how far you've come.

 

Maybe bury it in a place in the ground that remains moist? I feel like the pages would disintegrate.

 

Put it in a pan with Coke. The acidic nature of the drink should help do the deed.

 

Before you burn, tear or soak anything please really think about it. I used to keep journals-had a bunch of spiral bound notebooks filled with my words, my experiences and feelings. For a variety of reasons that seemed to make sense at the time, I destroyed them all. And regret it to this day.

I would probably opt to throw your journal in some little used drawer for a while. If you still find it is causing you great stress just by the mere fact it exists, then go ahead and destroy it.

I tore mine up into tiny little pieces. Threw them in two different dumpsters and that was that. It makes me sad now, to know I destroyed my words--that I threw them in the trash. I wish I still had them.:icon_sad:

 

I burned my notebook (which had everything I hate about me written down) in the barbecue area (everyting went great).

I like to burn these things. But you need to be safe with these things. The best thing would be a barbecue area, where everything is thought through...

 

Throw it in the fire pit.

 

In my personal experience...

I soaked that shit in salt water and buried it at least 3 feet deep. The only thing I regret about it is that there might have been "indicators" to the beginnings of my self-discovery as trans in some of those, but hey.

Additionally, I wouldn't burn anything plastic or metal. Bad idea.

 

shred it and put parts of it in different trash cans.

 

Burn!

 

Burn it. I'd douse it in gasoline and light it on fire. But then again, I'm also a pyro. But it is effective.
