i first have to admit this task was a challenge for me, sometimes i forgot to write and other times i did not feel like  anything interesting happened during my day. I always write in the comfort of my bed, i turn on the night light and play some classical music and begin to write whatever i remember. Since i wanted to write to a special person i used Eleni even if the person in real life is not a female nor that is his name. I still used Eleni since i found the name beautiful. The first letter that i wrote was only one page but then the other days i wrote more than one page. I found the task of letter writing easier some days and other days i found it difficult. Many times i forgot what actually i was going to write and reflect on. I tried not to just throw out everything that happened in my day instead i took on one particular event that happened during that day and expressed to Eleni how i felt about it. For instance, in my third letter entry i mentioned how i was stressed at work but then i reflected on that same feeling. I always tried to write in between 7-9pm right after i arrived home. I also wrote the moment before i was going to bed, i found that i was more introspective when i wrote in between those hours. I never spent  more than 15 minutes writing, the most that i spent was 10 minutes and that was because i was very passionate with what happened during that day. Sometimes during the writing process i had to stop, just because i did not remember everything that happened during the day or i felt that i was not writing in chronological order like i wanted to. When i managed to remember every important event that happened during that day i went back to writing some more. I tried not to pause in the middle of writing as a result my ideas would go away and i would lose my flow. I never re-read any of my dairies i like to only read something if i feel emotionally in tuned with myself or else i would not be able to picture that day in my head again. My routine is very ordinary the only different events that i recorded was on friday and saturday when i went out with my friends, other than that the events are mostly work related.
