Do you keep a diary?

Hi AmuletGirl! I still do have a diary until now. I have blogs and stuff, but nothing beats having to write down my thoughts :) I have NEVER shared any of its contents to anyone else! I write in it whenever I have the urge to write something down, something that I couldn't post online. My deepest and darkest secrets are all contained in a cute notebook that I keep somewhere in my room :)

Hi AmuletGirl, I keep a combined food dairy and normal diary at the moment. I did used to try and do separate ones but I kept never doing the normal diary so I combined them. Each day I write what I ate, how much exercise I did, and then what I did, and how I felt. It is only an A4 sheet of paper so there isn't an awful lot of room, but it helps me to wind some things up in my mind, or to clear things. I am aided by the fact I have a keen interest in myself, my past and how I change over time. I am not egotistical (I hope) but psychology fascinates me and the fact I don't have records from some of my worst times upsets me, so to ensure that never happens again i write things down. I also like being able to wonder what i was doing last year or the year before, and read about it in the diary, it is a nice buzz. I think that if anyone else ever read it though they would find it boring. I write it for myself and no one else so it is full of what interests me. On the note of not being honest, I came across that recently. There was a feeling I got caught up in which I found a little shameful. It isn't anything bad but it involved admitting something to myself, and it took me a few days to actually write it down in my diary. I feel better now I had, and it was interesting to see the reluctance too. Uhh and another reason I write a diary, I learn things. I have learnt so much about myself from the thoughts that appear. I write exactly as I think things, so being forced to think and write helps me to understand, sort of like doing this now does too. All the best, Dranz

I used to keep a diary in paper and then I dont know just got to busy. I then started one online as Im online alot working I havent been there thou close to a year. Things in our family drastically changed and I just havent found the time to go. I am brutally honest in my diaries thou. To honest some may say. LOL! However if you cant even be honest with yourself, how can you ever be honest with someone else? I do allow people to read my diary too. I had some nice people that I meet there. Hmmm think Im gonna go back and see if I can get into it again. I do miss those I used to read. Anyways, so the answer is yes I have had one it is about a year old and I shared it online with the rest of the community.

Hi, AmuletGirl! I started keeping a diary when I was in high school as during my elementary days slumbooks were very popular though some of my classmates then had diaries. Keeping a diary helped me a lot in high school as I was very introvert then with low self-esteem...there I write my true feelings, my poems, my songs, my drawings, etc. Probably it was here when I had develop myself in written communication as my diary is a compilation of the letters I wrote to a dearest friend that I never had (like an invisible friend). However, there was one classmate who was very nosy and was able to get a hold of my diary and read some out loud in front of a lot of students without warning so since then I stopped...because I felt betrayed or mocked because I wrote everything true about myself even my deepest darkest secret which many did not know. I kept this diary until it got burned because of termite infestation in the dormitory I lived in college. Right now, I do not have a diary as I can't write as diligent as before due to time constraints...besides I had a lot of friends in mylot and facebook to write to instead. God bless! Have a great day ahead!

Hi,Amul,i used to write diary till i got the age of 27 years that too mainly day to day happenings,regarding special occasions like fastivals,birth days etcBut once i started my business activities i confined to write diary for only business matters.Have a nice time.

I started a diary every new year I think, and my first entry was always this : I think it's about time I had a PROPER diary and I hope I can add at least one entry each day. But after a few weeks my entries would seem alike and I'd give up altogether. Besides I wanted to write about exciting things but all that I had to write about was my complaints with homework and my insufficient allowance and all I wanted to buy. A few months ago I found an old diary and boy was I laughing my head off!

Not really, just wrote a few days when I was in Elementary School as you. But I got two pen friends in highschool. We contacted once or twice one month, now I think about what we wrote in the past time, most of it was trivia(maybe it's not at that time).

i keep diary once when i was in highschool....i just stop doing it when my sis found my diary and read it and share it to the rest of the family that made me sad, mad....
