@cacay1 One similar reason like yours too. And with writing things in my mind, maybe that's how my mind is getting shaper. @sica98 Your mom is absolutely right.

No, I don't keep a diary. Some day I may wish I had but, for now, it seems like too much work for little or no gain.

@sica98 But I'd have to read through every discussion since I scatter my thoughts, feelings and what I'm doing every day all over myLot. I rarely write discussions that would be of much use in remembering daily details of my life.

I think it is an escape for a certain people. I don't have a diary but I keep a devotional journal for my Bible reading.

I keep a daily agenda where I write what I did during the day, it's more for future reference than other reasons.

@cacay1 The stamps are not a reminder of what I did one year or ten years ago.

She did say that writing is an effective measure for preventing or reducing stress and anxiety.That's probably a good thing I guess.

I used to write a diary when I was a teenager, until I'm in the twenties. Somehow, I didn't feel like doing it anymore.

When I was a teenager I was so fond of Diaries. I include the time, date, and details of the events. Up to this day, I write my journal in my diary.

If I ever wrote one,I don't think I will be selling them at anytime.I don't like the idea of sharing my private thoughts for the rest of the world to see.It sound creepy knowing someone reading everything about you.

I would love to have the discipline to journal or keep a diary! I've started them in the past, but I never developed the habit of writing in them every day. I think it would be cool to be able to look at an entry from years ago and see what I might have been thinking back then!

It would be nice to look back on some of the things you done but I rather look back at the photos and remember the past.

@sica98 that's what I used to worry about when wanted to maintain a diary. I always had a fear that someone will read it and know everything about me and will try to blackmail me.

I do a video diary yes. Every December I go thru it and reflect. I tried writing a dairy when I was younger but it didn’t work for me. Talking actually does work for me and saves me tons in therapy money lol.

My father also keeps Diary entries. He is very regular and particular with the entries. I started the practice but did not sustain it. It is a good habit and can help one keep stress at bay but with the kind of random things cropping up and a lot of them, it becomes difficult to manage such activities.

I kept dairies all through my growing up years and into adulthood and even later, Then one day I looked through all my diaries and thought, When will I even read them again and why would this interest me? So I wrote down some of the important life events I wanted to remember and pulled out some pages and just through the whole lot away, Now I just have notebooks about the things I do online, what I post and what I plan on doing each day,

I do keep a journal and have all my life. It's just part of me. I sometimes look back and am amazed at how life used to be for me when I lived in various places in my younger years.

I used to keep a diary. I wish I had continued. It's interesting to go back and read about what I did and thought when I was a teenager. I think it helps to be able to write about your feelings.
