Do you keep a diary or journal?

I write in my journal and I have off and on for years. I even started ones when I was pregnant with my two boys, so later in life they would know what I was going through while carrying them.

i would never keep a personal diary or personal journal, just the thought of pourin all ur secrets into a peice of paper... never!!!

i keep diary from my high school life...its like momentos of ur past...

I keep a journal because I can write in there what I couldn't possibly tell someone and it's a great stress reliever.

Journals, I have several journals from high school but I dont write in a journal any more, I dont have the time with every thing else. I do however at all times have a note book that contains my poetry and I ideas with me, I dont consider that a journal though. I think yes, I would still keep a diary or whatever because I havent ever done anything bad enough to care, I mean I wouuldnt want anyone to READ that stuff but its nothing that would land me jail time or anything.LOL.

I try but I keep for getting ot so I stop tarring to do it

i always carry a diary

HerShe, you and I have a lot of similar ways of thinking. I do keep a diary on my computer, against my better judgment. But you need a password to get into it. Years ago I kept a diary and I have no idea whose hands it got into. It was very, very personal and I swore that I would never write another one, but it is such good therapy for me because that is like my friend that I talk to. But it is always in the back of my mind that I don't like the idea that someone might possibly read it sometime.

I try to keep a journal of thoughts and poems, not necessarily for daily thoughts but on a personal thought of ideals, dreams, aspirations, fears, goals...It varies from once a week to once a month....

I write things down in a note book. But it is business ideals, poems, short stories and novel ideas that I keep not a journal of my life. But I do make my kids write in a journal everyday. It is just for them and to improve their writing skills. (They are homeschooled)

yes I keep a journal where my most private thoughts go

i have a book of shadow, it's a diary and at the same time a journal. how about you?.

I try to write in a journal as much as possible. .. its good for my mental health

I USED TO KEEP DIARY..

Princeton university sources state the following defns for a JOUNAL: 1.diary: a daily written record of (usually personal) experiences and observations 2.a periodical dedicated to a particular subject; "he reads the medical journals" 3.daybook: a ledger in which transactions have been recorded as they occurred 4.a record book as a physical object the part of the axle contained by a bearing On the other hand, WIKIPEDIA gives the following definition of a JOURNAL: 1.A journal (through French from late Latin diurnalis, daily) is a daily record of events or business. A private journal is usually an elaborated diary. When applied to a newspaper or other periodical the word is strictly used of one published each day; but any publication issued at stated intervals, such as a magazine or the record of the transactions of a learned society (a scientific or other academic journal), is commonly called a journal. ... Taking both words to mean 'a chronological record of events': I do use a diary, but only for important events.

i have a book of shadow, it's a diary and at the same time a journal. how about you?
