Hi respected Lotters I just want to share some thing personal with you all, When I was in school and college, I had the habit to write diary daily, they records my ideas, thought and feelings about every thing but now I dont have enough time or my habits changed due to time so I am not writing my diary. But I do read my old diaries and enjoy the past days of my life, during reading every thing and every moment appears in front of me. I want to know your personal diary writing habit, do you still update your diary? Be happy and be the reason of happiness in others life...:)

Hello there! Reading my personal diary really brings up the memories from my high school days. I write it in English before and I would be able to see my grammar lapses. It will then just make me laugh about it. It will also bring up those happy and sad moments that I encountered as well as the most embarrassing ones. For now I am not keeping a diary starting 4th year college up until now because of my really busy schedule. But since I got here in myLot, I was able to post significant moments that happened in my life.

During several periods of my life I thought about writing a diary, but with the time I dessist of this idea so I never wrote one. A diary might be a nice habit, but it seems to personal to get into wrong hands. There are so many enemies around everyone awaiting a moment to hurt someone...it's so easy to hurt someone nowadays that I really don't wish nobody to know all my personal thoughts, feelings.... Without any diary, I can decide on my own whom I open my heart and my mind and how much I want to tell him or her and at what moment to do so. I prefer to be carefull.

Hi camomile Nice to read you response, I agree that this is one main disadvantage of writing diary tat if it goes to some one else hand then your personal can not be protected but I think it is up to us that how can we protect it from others. For me I ll never allow any other person to reach into my personal belongings, and if you are really afraid of this thing then you can keep your diary in some safe place where it is only accessible to you and no one else can reach over there. Despite all these things, I personally think, writing diary is a very good habit and due to this you can evaluate and judge yourself and can make some decision about your behaviors and other things. These were just mine thoughts and it can be differ from your and other... Thank you very much for nice thought, I appreciate your thought.... Have happy Lotting...

Hi saqi78, of course you're right, there might be always a save place where to keep your secrets (your diary). In that case, I rather prefer to keep them in my mind. But your point of view is very interesting for persons who likes psicology and would like to evaluate their own personality to see how they are changing, growing and maturating.

i used to have the habit of writing personal diary when i was a teenager... but i stop it because i find out my mum read my diary secretly and all my hidden secrets are being revealed... i was pretty angry and upset at the moment as it is a breach of my privacy... after that, i stop writing a personal diary as i don't want other people to know about my hidden secrets if i happen to leave my diary unattended... take care and have a nice day...

Hi Lingli Nice to see your comments over here, Yes, I agree with you that diary is some thing personal and it should be dealt personal by others too, because we are writing our secrets and every thing in it and we ll never allow any one to read it, if they have some problem or some thing to ask from us from our personal life then they should ask from us directly instead of reading our journal or diaries. Due to your mother you left a very good habit and I think from here if any parent is reading this, should take care of dealing with your child, one mistake can harm your child, like in your case, you have had a creative habit of writing and you stopped it due to your mother mistake and I think when you ll be mom you ll never ever repeat such bad things....:) Happy Lotting

I used to do a diary then came along husband and children. When my children were older I did go back to a diary just simple things like I had such and such bill to pay and what we had done. nothing major. My children grew up and you know how it is all their things are private even their bedroom (must add here, as long as they kept it clean) but they would have a sneaky look into my diary! I gave up then lol

Yea, for the most part I do - but now I call it a "journal"! lol! I've been keeping it for years now and my kids can't wait until I die to sit and read them all! My trouble is that when I am on overload I don't write in it at all. That's backwards, but that's the way it is!

I used to keep a diary off and on a lot but I haven't in a long time. I guess I just got busy and lost interest in keeping one. I still have some of my diaries I used to keep somewhere. I have a diary that I used to keep as a teenager and I would record all the things that happened at school that day. I was a big Beatle fan and I even recorded all of their birhtdays, lol!

I have never in my life kept a personal diary and realized just a few weeks ago that this would be something interesting for me to do, as I have lived a very difficult life and wonder if my children would read them later. So I have this goal that beginning Jan 2011 I am going to start recalling my life and writing my thought in a Journal. As well as write the events of the day, as someday also I can read back and be yet even more grateful to God that I am still living despite the life which was handed to me.

Hi H.W. Gurl Very happy to see your comments over here and yes I agree with you regarding the benefits of diary and I personally experienced this thing, my father had habit of writing his diary in his young age and when he started his business. I was reading his diary with his permission once and I came to know about the hurdles and every thing he faced during his life and career, and how did he suffered different times. Beside this there were happy moments which he also written in that like mine and my other brothers and sisters births and birth days etc And it is really fun to read them and take some guidance from them, I appreciate you for starting from next year... You already made a wish that you are going to write diary so I think this time Santa ll give you diary....lolz Happy Lotting

I keep a professional one. What went well in the school day, what didnt, what would I change, how would I handle a situation better. I feel that it makes me a better teacher. I skim over it from time to time, especially if I am about to teach a lesson that i know I have taught in the past.

I agree with you, every one at our young age have this habit of writing diary but with passage of time in busy life we become unable to write. Thanks for sharing your thoughts...:) Have a nice day...:)

I keep a diary until now. Writing helps me to get a grip on myself whenever I'm run over by emotions. ^^ But I also realized the danger of getting lost in your writing or in your own thoughts. I realized that writing about my life is not as important as living it. There are still so many things to do and so very little time to do them.
