do you keep diary daily? and do you read your own diary afterward?

I don't know if I would call it a diary, but I consider it as one anyway. So yes, I do have one. Haha. It's not like the other diaries though. I don't write to it daily but instead I write when I am in class when I can't speak of what I am thinking. Sometimes I would write scribbles like something that just happened to me or something that my teacher mentioned. I have my separate notebook for some other things, like when it is in form of poems. I may not remember a lot of details about certain experiences, but I make sure I would remember the feeling when I was in it. And of course, I would remember the memory of it too.

i used to keep one when i was in my teens (during high school). i enjoyed reading my diary afterwards. i stopped writing diaries when the one i started and used to keep got lost. i was really sad that a good part of myself was lost and worried if someone who knew me had it and knew my secrets.... (lol, when u are in ur teens u have these crushes and ur hates). i never had any diary after that. maybe i had outgrown the excitement of keeping one and didn't find much need for diaries, firstly because my activities increased as i grew older and i didn't find much time for it and secondly, i didn't (and still don't) want to write my secrets lest they get lost again and somebody uncovers them ... lol

I stopped keeping a diary a long time ago. The reason I stopped was that I had people around who would invade my privacy and read it. It got to the point where my private thoughts were no longer private and my feelings were ridiculed. Now, I will sit and type when I feel the need, but then delete everything when I am finished. If I do write my thoughts and feelings on paper, it gets ripped up and thrown away. This way, I am still able to get my feelings out, but I don't have to worry about my privacy being invaded.

Thats really nice! I wish i had that habit. :( I use to write diary when i was 7 years old and i stopped writing diary in a week. ;) In fact, i started writing diary because my teacher instructed us to do so. :) Those are real sweet memories. Now i don't have the habit of writing Diary. There is only one window to my past life, and that is my old pictures. :)

I really admire your action.Those,who said busy,I also think they just find excuse for their lack of persistence. In modern life,some people feel their lives boring and even can't find beatiful things in the world.If they do things like you,they will find life aren't boring as they think.So I will learn from you and begin to record my own life.

long time ago,i enjoy writing,and sometimes i make diary with my fellings,maybe happy or unhappy.i think it's a good habit for everybody.we can find something that we have forgot and for what we write them.time could make us forget slowly,but diary could make us remember when we look back ,then we learn to appreciate.

Life is so busy and i don't have the time to keep myself a diary updated at times yea .

I do have a journal and was writing in it again but had to stop since life got way too hectic..I plan on starting up again soon though..I've been journal writing for yrs now and yes I do read them every Halloween (Samhain) adn I keep them all too...I have a daily journal, a dream journal and a spiritual journal actually

How to say? I have a diary but seldom write diary now. When I was in college, I read "Annie's Diary", it touched me very much. And I start to write diary. Same as her, I also regard diary as my best friend - I can express myself completely there. At first, I wrote frequently, but now I just write when I'm sad or in trouble. Or records important experience of my life. Sometimes, I read them afterward to review my hard time. - I think I'm a bad owner of my diary. I seldom share my happiness with it, but only sadness, painful. However, I think diary is useful and meaningful for my life! It's my best friends!

I am a man and I don't keep a diary daily. I write in it when something significant happens. I then don't read back because I like to keep it as a memory. I read a diary that I kept from a few years ago a few weeks back I haven't laughed so much at the memories I wrote down in a long time. It really is a good way to keep memories. In my next diary if i go lets say kayaking I might stick pictures from the outing in there aswell. That could be fun. I don't however write in my diary about a girl I have a crush on. It's more of an event reminder.

hi,friends.When i see this topic i feel so sorry to admit that i have not keep a diary.however i want to start again since i am on the way to be a freshman in my new university.Not having done well in the national entrance exam I was admitted into a college which was not on my wish list.haha^

I have always kept a journal and refer back to it occasionally. Journaling (or writing in your diary) has long been proven to have certain therapeutic values. It is very interesting to go "back in time" and read about upsets, hurts, feelings, boy/girlfriends,and so on. Usually by revisiting past situations, one of two things will happen. First you may wonder what on earth had you so upset/hurt/frustrated about the situation. This occurs frequently with teens and young adults as they struggle with the trials and tribunes of those difficult years. Or, in a really serious situation,by looking back and revisiting it again, you realize that bad times too shall eventually pass. This is very effective when we are struggling in our current life as we see how we overcame/got over past struggles or challenges. Or, sometimes it just helps you to have a good laugh and get over yourself already.

oh no.. when i was in school i used to write daily diary due to the influence that i have seen many movies in which the stars i like wrote diary... then some of the popular studenst in the school i knew wrote diary... not because i was interested.. so i gave up long back i think when i entered high school

Yes, I have a daily diary to record all my activities and re read afterwards to have a good memory about the past events. I just love writing and cherished all the memories and events happened in my life. It's a nice habit especially when I have no work or bored during the day.
