When I was very young I kept a diary and it brought me pure joy when I found one of my journals last week. I couldn't help laughing! My biggest problems were play days and sleeping, I missed those times... Now I don't keep a diary and I don't share my emotions and the events with my life because I like keeping things private. Do you keep a journal/diary and what do you write about in it?

LOL. I used to keep a journal back in highschool. I still have all my journals, and once in a while I reread it, and I literally cringe when I read it. hahahaha... Everyday, it was about boys boys boys. Hahahaha. I was so lovestruck then, and quite pathetic. hahahaha. It's just really funny when I look back and just realize, that 10 years really can change a lot in your life, and how you view it.

Do you actually sorry for writing and keeping ypur journals? Do you think that they have had any influence on you or helped you in a certain way? I doubt that all you could write about was boys. Or is it possible?! lol

Hahahaha. I was not sorry for it. I mean, I think it's great that I can read back to all those years, having a glimpse on how I view things back then... It really helped me realize about me being immature before and trying to learn from all my mistakes when I was still in highschool. No seriously, everything in the journal was about boys. hahaha. I can't believe it either. lol.

I have been keeping a journal ever since I was like 6 or 7. When I was a kid, I only write in it about my feelings and about my friends, teachers, boys that I like and what I want to say to them that I cannot say personally. But now, I only use my diary to release my emotions in it, and just the important events and happenings.

I do keep one, but I keep it in a private folder on my laptop. I have it labled as school work. I write better when I type things out. I write down everything. I keep character sketches, different articles I want to publish and places I want to write about. I know my husband never asks what is in my diary.

school work? that is clever lol So your diary is more like not expression of feelings but expression of sense? this is way more mature and more functional and helpful for self expansion! i am impressed!

I keep a journal too but I haven't written for days. I write everything there especially at times when I am really upset, angry or happy. And the important experiences I have are there. I write in details too so when I go back to the pages, and read my entries again, I always laugh about it. Its a good way to bring back the memories.

I maintained to write diary when I was in my teens.Only then I learned to see the world with my own eyes and everything was new and I wanted to record whatever I feel and experience.About five years,I wrote without any miss but one fine morning I find it waste of time and stopped it.Now I live to the present and no looking back.

i used to have a diary which always starts, "Dear Diary" or "Dear God"...but now I always carry around my all-around journal which serves as my diary when i'm so down and i need to pour out my frustrations and all, then it also serves as my budget notebook where i write down about where i spend my money, then its also where i write down my stories' skeleton chaps or summary...not to mention other things, like i write down my email adds, passwords, tin, account number everything. lol
