Do you keep a diary

@Berrygal (5834)

April 1, 2018 6:52am CST

I was clearing off my closet this morning and I came across my old diary and I look through to see what had happened some years back and I was shocked at what what I read. it like I was replaying my life scenarios all over again. I had stopped writing on my diary a while back but it like I have to resurrect the habit again, it helps one have records of past events and happenings. Do you have a diary or you intend to have one?

Don't keep a diary these days but I do have a couple of diaries that we used to do in junior school every day. They were fun to look back on!

@Berrygal Yes I can remember hating it at the time! It was the first thing we did in school every morning but it was nice to look back and wonder what on earth was going through my 8 year old head when I wrote some of it

No, but this year I have been recording my daily highlights on my calendar. It's been like a diary, but with less than five words a block!

Many years ago, I kept wroting diary everyday, however I found the sad things more than happiest things when I opened and read the dairy back, so it was shocked me, since then, I change my habit to stop to write dairy?Maybe it is good habit.

I did have one when I was younger complete with all the details that happened. For now, I just have a journal that still has the events of the day but not as detailed as before.

Yes, I do. But I only write the good stuff in it. For me, that's the meaning of having a memory to look back at and smile.

No, I don't like to keep diaries as it will divulge all my secrets if others get hold of it.
