How Journaling Turned My Best Friend into My Soulmate

We asked our users, "Has DailyBean ever helped you realize something meaningful?" and we were overwhelmed by the heartfelt stories we received.

Here is a C’s story selected from the DailyBean User Story Contest. It’s a beautiful journey about how a simple habit of recording emotions turned a best friend into a soulmate.

From High School Seniors to College Sweethearts

DailyBean was shown to me by a very close friend, back when I was ending my senior year of high school. It helped me capture the blossoming of my relationship (to which i was all new to), being asked out to prom, my first date, prom, becoming his girlfriend, graduation, moving away for college and transferring to go to his college.

Realizing “Best Friend” Meant “Something More”

Throughout all of my use of DailyBean, it helped me realize that the once best friend of mine was actually someone who would be more suitable as my boyfriend. Being able to write down my emotions every day helped me realize the guy I only considered a friend from my English and Anatomy classes was actually something way more.

A Diary Full of White Roses and Baseball Games

Eventually I found myself writing about me going to his senior baseball games to watch him pitch, sitting after to just talk to him long after his whole team had left, hoping he would ask me to prom, the day he asked me to prom with white roses in the school parking lot, and finally the day he asked me to be his girlfriend.

A Constant Companion Through Every Chapter

Since then and along every step of the way my DailyBean has been there to record it all. It helps me process my day and my emotions. It allows me to look back and reminisce on it all to which I am so grateful for. All in all, DailyBean has been there for me and I don’t know what I’d do without it.

Three Years and Counting: From “Friend” to “Partner”

Now a typical day for me includes selecting “partner” in the people icons, because we have been together for 3 years!
