In the course of my normal life I don't write a diary. If I did I feel it would be somewhat boring to read. My daily life follows a pattern that is hardly exciting all that often. When I go off traveling I always keep a diary then in the future I have that to read and enjoy. In it I write what I am up to in the different countries. Reading it can help me annotate photos I put in albums when I return home. A diary is personal and so your mom shouldn't have been reading it.

Well, i was doing it at my school days, but now i really dont have time. Best part is i can reduce my stress or extreme pain by writing down. When i write, i feel better. Oh sorry to hear that, but you can convince your mom, saying that you will feel better writing down.

When I was young, I write diaries. It makes me feel better whenever there's something bad happened to me and when my day isn't good, also whenever I did something wrong. I write all my thoughts, opinions and feelings to it. I write my secrets in it and everything. Until now, I still have a diary, but no so much private. It's a blog.

I used to write a diary for a certain period in my life.But later my work and hectic life after marriage has caused an impediment in continuing with this habit.I still maintain a record of all useful articles and information that I've come across.I think its better to jot down important events in the day but one has to devote time to fulfill this habit

Yes I do. But not everyday, I only write stuffs when I'm sad or overjoyed.Your diary becomes your confidant.(bUT be careful where you keep your diary, some might read it, thats the downside of it) I pour out my emotions and apprehensions, in short I can be me. I can write everything I have mind, and say what I want to say. At the end of every piece, I write a lesson. For me, it is good to have one, when you read some pages of it you will realize all about your life. What you have become,the people whom you have forgotten already, and the periods in your life that is distressing and wonderful. And at the same time you are learning about yourself.

Hi, friend. I started to keep a diary when i went to college simply because i was far away from home and felt extremely lonely, but i quit only a year later as i thought it tiresome and up to now i've never tried to keep a diary again. I do have lots of thoughts each day, but i'm too lazy to put it down. Sometimes, i just post discussions in mylot to share my thoughts. Have a good day!

I have been through a moment in my life where I feel I am alone and nobody to call as my friend. It's simply a solitary world where it's all about black and white...that is the way I can describe my world way back then...bland and boring. So I have fascination with this adorable thing called diary and write everything there under the sun. It's like my best friends who easily absorb all my raves, rants,sad moments and too little happy moments. I can very well say that i have found my best friend in the form of my diary. But many things happen then and changes takes it's course and I find myself one day forgetting to write my diary or shall we say I just stop writing things in my diary. Don't know when or how did I stop doing it. Maybe because I have found some new real friends that talk back to me and share my ups and downs...that is real human being whom I trusted very much. But if things go back to where I left of...my diary is always ready to accept me back come what may. And that's the most wonderful thing about it.

I've kept a diary for the last six years. I usually fill up roughly a page a day, and I rarely skip a day. I write about my day, what I'm feeling at the time, and sometimes I write some poetry if I'm feeling like writing poetry in my diary. I really enjoy it. I like being able to get all my thoughts, feelings, and memories out on the page. I like reading back over them and seeing everything I've been through. My diary has been abducted and read before, and I was really mad at the time that it happened but it doesn't bother me so much anymore. I don't want the fear of someone reading my personal thoughts to keep me from the benefits of writing them. These days I don't really feel like I have any secrets I would be ashamed of.

I used to keep a diary when I was in high school. I really enjoyed it, It gave me a place to go that was all my own. I could write about anything. It was therapy you didn;t know you needed. Reading diaries that you have kept for years endears the memories written on those pages for years afterward. I think everyone should keep a diary at some pont in their lives. You will not be sorry for it.

Writing diary helps me keep things organized. Everyday When I get up, I always write down what I need do and what task I will finish. When I make some progress, I will open diary and try to remind myself of what I will do next. I think this is a good way to save time and increase efficiency when you have a lot of things to do at the same time. Another function of diary is to record what had happened in our life. When keeping diary, it is a good time to learn from the past and release pressure from life. Just like opening a new window, we can breathe fresh air and watch the world from a different angle. Anyway keeping diary is a good habit for me. Hope I can keep it up.

I used to write in a diary about all sorts of things going on in my life. At the time it seemed like there were so many things to be sad or happy about but as I have gotten older, I don't do it anymore. I think it's because I don't really have time to. I have thought about taking the time to write about certain events in my life now just so I could read about them sometime in the future and have that memory fresh again.

When i was young i used to have a diary. I write almost anything on it. I write whatever was happening to my day to day life. Whether im happy, down, sad or depressed it was all there. I remember smiling while i write when im happy. I cry when im sad and saw tears dropping on my diary. But now im too busy with life. Theres lots of things going on and i have no time to write thats why i dont write on my diary anymore. If only im not too busy anymore then ill write again its nice when you jot down whats happening in your life.

In my teenage years, I used to have a diary. It contained almost my daily encounters with my CRUSH of course! That was also my first WRITING EXPERIENCE. It was so detailed and I still brought that cute notebook with me even after I had my own family. One time I cleaned the cabinets and found it, I really wasn't able to control myself that I was able to finish reading it from beginning to end. It made me laugh remembering the times I felt so happy and those times I got sooooo mad! Maybe diaries are really meant for young ones who have enough time to spend mesmerizing and putting into account the day-to-day adventures that make life more enticing. :) After getting busy with my studies in college, I didn't have any more chance to continue updating my own diary.

I think seldom people will look back to their own dairy. Writing dairy can release the stress and pressure. Perhaps this is why some people like to keep the dairy. When I was a student, I also wrote my dairy. But I don't write it for a long time because I am afraid one day someone may read my dairy. It is not good. I love China

I think writing diary is a good habit.. and it is a good way.. to memorize your all goo and bad events in your past life.. which you have write in your diary.. so anytime when a person wants to take some memorize.. from his past life.. then diary is a best way for this.. because everything is written in this.. that what events are doing in your past life.. but i don't have habit of writing diary.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

As far as I am concerned, I think the use of the writing can be so important our daily life. Now I will just speak here as follows. If you have written a diary, I think you will remember that good days and sorrow adys just in it,So when you are old or some other things, I think you can refer to your diary to recall a lot of things.

They help you keep track of your life and they're sort of fun to read after a long period of time
