the only friend you can scream at who never tells anyone, until you die and someone reads it
means A daily written record of personal events, thoughts, and feelings, usually kept private.
from From the Latin 'diarium,' a soldier's daily allowance — literally 'a day's ration,' built on 'dies,' meaning 'day.' The word for what you were given each day quietly became the word for what you wrote down each day; the same 'dies' is the root behind 'diurnal' and a distant cousin of 'journal,' which took the longer route through French. Both share a quiet truth: the day is the unit, and the diary just keeps count.
