In 2018, Lina Scheynius's boyfriend broke up with her through a letter, leading her to document her emotions in a diary for six months. This process ultimately resulted in her book, 'Diary of an Ending,' which explores themes of heartbreak, desire, and healing. Although it is her first venture into prose, Scheynius has been journaling since childhood and has built a reputation as a photographer known for capturing her personal experiences. The journal entries reflect on a relationship characterized by emotional turmoil and abuse, presenting both tender and painful memories.
Scheynius never intended the journal she kept after the breakup to become a book. Where she states her emotional confusion and inability to trust people shows the turmoil she was in.
The entries are often difficult to read, mapping the unravelling of a corrosive dynamic that, as her therapist later told her, bordered on emotional abuse.
