I like keeping a journal. I especially like the fact that you can look back and reminisce about the past. The only thing that bugs me is that I can't do it routinely. For some reason I will have big gaps in my diary. There will be months where I haven't written. I'm just not in the mood to write like I use to. Also, I sometimes just e-mail a page or two to myself. I treat it like a journal entry. You get to let out some frustration and anger. At least I get that out when writing. I even somtimes cry while writing, which is hard because there comes a point where the tears cover up what you are trying to write.
