Hi ,my lotter... For my part,i prefer to writing something. not everyday.when i want to write i write. I began to write down my feeling at the junior school,and keep on doing it. when i felt sad,i would open my diary book. I wrote in it and then i will feel better. what i wrote is something that i can't told anybody and i don't want to share with others. I can say to my diary book. There are three big diary books in my private drawer. I hope i can read them when i get old. And sharing them with my child. What about you? my Lotter...

I have a diary, but I haven't been good at keeping up. I do try to write every day, but usually it takes the form of an article online. This doesn't really share my feelings and emotions (although sometimes it can, depending on the subject). However, by writing every day, I think I keep the writing machine well oiled. I like to be in practice. If I go a few days without writing, I find it's harder when I return. Beginning anything is always the hardest part of writing for me. If I get the idea of how I want to begin an article in my mind, the rest I can work on easily. Good luck with your writing!

I also wrote a diary while still at school, but now I do not ever write in a diary. diary as well as schools no longer exist today. none that I keep a diary. I immediately burn it because I do not want anyone to know the contents of my diary. I now feel there is no point in writing in a diary. because I was always scared, I'm afraid if my diary read by other people.

hi I journal every day to release upset feelings and get in touch with me and remind me this tiresome place does not have to be forever, whatever time I have left on earth I would like to get the hell out of here and back into an apartment. I do really love to write and it gives me so much pleasure too.

yeah, but no matter how i kept the document still there are people who are trying to look for my secrets and try to read it. even i place it in a private place or shall i say in a safety place but i am wondering why people born to be like this, they like to know the story of other., that is why when i write it's a bit transparent and it deals with official business transaction and when i talk about personal life i am very careful in revealing such.

I used to have a diary when I was in high school and even in my early college years. However, there was a time that my brother took my diary and read it so I disposed it as soon as I learned about it. I have never written after that. For me it's still good to write as long as you can keep it in a safe place.

diary - daily journal
i usually do write my daily life,since when i'm in high school.i remembered i first used to write my high school days in a mini diary which me and my friends shared.meaning,me and my friends (our barkada/group) do write our feelings on day to day basis.which makes fun.we do write our secret crushes there and everything we want to write.it's really fun and from then on,i started writing my own diary.i actually have collections of it now.that was from year 1998 i guess.but now,i rarely do write.if i write it is when i feel bad or sad for something and when i have feelings for someone that i hardly say to them.i write things and prefer to keep it away from others.i don't allow others to read it. but things changed when i did have a boyfriend and i'm open to him so it doesn't matter to me if i let him borrow my diary.as long as i knew the things that are on it.i remembered he feel really good reading my diary.i guess it's because he really loved me that's why he's really loved my writings.sometimes,my writings were like of bob ong's (one of filipino writers).but i'm really not good at it sometimes. when i'm cleaning my room,i used to clean those of my personal things too.and i bumped into my bag of diaries i used to peek what's inside of one and when i feel like reading it,it makes me laugh about the past.just by reading things from my past makes me feel good sometimes. but i also come to a thought that sometimes i just want to throw them away.i just remembered my ex-bf who mentioned when i want to throw it,i'll just have to give it to him instead.he really loved me even now,i know i don't like him anymore. reading past experiences is fun,sometimes also bring tears to my eyes when i've read moments of sadness and bonding times... it's great to have a diary in a way!

When I was much younger, I used to keep a personal diary. However, now that I am older, there are times that I don't even find the time in the day to be able to take a shower, let alone to write about what is going on in my life. So, no, I no longer keep a diary. I do, however still have the ones that I kept during my later teen years and I think that it is interesting to go back from time to time and look at those and see how much my life has changed.
