Looking at your past.

Everyone changes with experiences. I got rid of all my old journals. I went thru a spell of thinking....what if...what if I got into a car wreck and these were left behind for just anyone to read?...that sort of thinking. nothing bad...just embarrassing. Sometimes I wish I hadn't but it's ok. I remember it all as if it were tomorrow.

I also have diaries almost 25 years ago. when I come home and read them I was surprised I read things like that. anyway they also called my memories to something I already forgot. Yes, after years I changed mylife style also my role in the world. But for inside me I don't think I changed a lot. I think you better not throw away your diaries. It was a part of your life. you should feel lucky you keep a record of your lifes. Best regards. Blossom

When I was still a student, I used to write diaries. I write all the things that had happened to me for the entire day. I write all the thoughts that I have, for me my diary is a friend whom I share everything without thinking any hindrances. I see my diary as someone who is a listener. All the emotions that I have I will write it there. But sometimes I wish that my diary is a person who can talked so that he/she can give me some advice and able to comfort me. Diary is my one and only best friend that I see before. However, as I grow older especially when I got in college. I had stopped writing my diaries. I don't know but I don't feel anything and it seems I don't have something to say or write. When I graduated in college, I decided to burn all of my diaries. I want to forget the past and I want to changed everything that I am before. Well, the most probably reason that I have why I burned it, its because I want it to be a secret forever. I don't want anybody can read my diary because I know all the things that I wrote isn't the best ideal to read. When I move to other place, away from home. I'm not thinking of anything beyond because I know that every thing is safe and all of my secrets are kept.

Hi, when i look at my past i really feel boring now. it was all sunny days with lots of fun. but now things have changed so do the surrounding and people. at that time people really scared to make a gossip about me but now there are so many gossips about me on every corner...well thanks to the x-gf and my sweet friends...i always wanted to be in limelight.and i am for a while now...courtesy society...lol

Yes, of course. When I read the entries of my diary(I've written last year) I also noticed that LoL I guess it's only natural for all of us to change. After all there's no permanent thing in this world except for the word "change" hehehe ^_^ Uhmm it's better if you will not throw them. Treasure your diary. It will be your remembrance for being younger than you are now LoL TC ",

It is your experiences that change you. Many people say it is what you think about or feel about those experiences, but usually either they have not been through them or they did not have the same traumatic effect. It is like two separate people get in a car accident, and both break their spines. One has money and family so he is able to get the exercises and the surgery necessary so now he can walk with a limp. The other is dependent on the county, and now is in a wheelchair. The only difference is the result. You can also use your experiences or what happened in your books, but it depends on whether you want non-fiction or fiction. With non=fiction it is easy, you just write about them, but with fiction, it is harder. You may have to spread the experiences between different characters and not only that you have to change the characters to make them unrecognizable or have them composites of different characters. By all mean do not throw the journals out. At least you can look at them and laugh to yourself, "did I ever think like that?" }

Well Iv always wanted to have a diary, but I dont know, I dont like to think of the possibility of someone else reading my private feelings and thoughts, not that I have anything to hide really, but Iv always been a private person, and well I guess thats why I never kept a diary, but I think about my past sometimes, and lets just say that if I made a book about my life it would be a very interesting read and if they made a movie about my life I think people would enjoy watching it lol, but it would have to be a two part mini series for sure haha, but anyway I think its important for us to remember our past and learn from it, and looking back occasionally is good, as long as we dont dwell in the past, and as for change Iv changed a lot since I was younger, and of course I'm still learning and changing.

Joe there is only one thing I know for sure part of our past made us who we are right now. May it be bad or good but still we cant deny it , its still part of who we are already. We might not recognized who we are from our past coz as you say lots have change. As my mom used to say change is the only word that is constant. Let it be your lesson from the past, and once you have learned to accept all this never linger from what has passed. Be happy my friend for I want to see you happy and jolly. The kind of Joe I know from my discussions. Have a good day my friend and by the way sorry havent been around lately got sick and wasnt able to make my own discussions thats why I am hear invading your discussions lol I missed you thats all my friend.

I used to have my diarys until two years ago.The reason i threw my diarys out was because there was some good things in them but also alot of things i would not want anyone else to read about.In some ways i was thinking why was i so silly,like you say you haqd changed and so have i.

Hello Marajoe, Not only did I keep a diary and wrote in it faithfully, I also kept a book of peotry that I wrote in faithfully, I can totally relate to you. I'm so different then what those poetry writtings represented and the diary that I kept I can't relate to none of that stuff now, so you ar not alone with these feelings. Happy My Lotting!
