Because of the habit of writing and the lack of advanced technology like today, quite a few people's writing in ancient times was neat and beautiful.

Brilio.net - In the midst of the advancement of the digital world and the ever-changing pace of lifestyles, we often forget simple habits that were once an inseparable part of daily life in the past. One of them is the habit of sharing feelings and expressing oneself through a diary. In the past, diaries were loyal friends who held all our secrets, dreams and worries.

In the past, our parents often expressed their feelings through writing and stored them in their diaries. Almost everyone in the 70s must have had a diary, because at that time there was no internet and social media like there is now. Technology was also not as massive as it is now, so people tend to handwrite more often than type.

These handwritings from the past will eventually become priceless treasures. Like a diary found by a child whose story was shared by the X account @NewTread_. The story is, there was a child who found his late father's diary in 1977 while he was still in college. He also shared the contents of the diary because there were no big secrets in it.

As stated in the uploaded photo, " I'll just spill it because nothing is that secret. " There is a photo of his father when he was young and a sticker at the beginning of the book when opened.

Not only that, the child also shared the first note written by his father which contained an agenda for a lecture trial at a language institute. It is known that his father's name is Muh. Mansour. M, you can see from the name written at the bottom of the note. His father turned out to be the same as teenagers at that time who didn't want to miss out on making complete personal data in a diary.

Usually the contents of diary entries are not far from romantic and poetic words, the father also seems to be good at making a series of good words . Of the many photos shared by the child, it turns out that many netizens are wrongly focused on his father's writing style, which is very neat and good, like using fonts on a computer. Even though the writing was limited to using a pen with black ink.

As can be seen from the photo shared, there is a poem written by his late father and it seems to be a love poem for the woman of his dreams at that time. The poem describes a flowery mood and words full of praise for the woman he admires. Like someone who was drunk in love, his father was romantic and poetic.

" The light of your eyes penetrates my eyelids
This world is full of falsehood
There are no tears accompanying our separation
Your melodious words always ring in my ears
"I only leave everything that is mine to you, " wrote the father in his diary.

It wasn't just one time that my late father wrote poetry and romantic words, it turns out that the following pages were also decorated with a series of beautiful words in very neat writing that made you feel at home reading them.

There are some contents with my mother, when I asked why only a little, he said his father tore it up because he was embarrassed tsk tsk, " said the account @denascris

" I once read my father's diary in the basic guwedeee folio book in the office finance department. It contained the journey of the birth of my first brother. The most beloved first child whose name had a long concept. It was written very neatly and in detail.
