Keeping a diary

I too used to keep a diary when I was very young. However, my brothers used to find it and taunt me about what they had read in it, so I scrapped the idea of ever putting my thoughts or actions on paper again. Now, I keep photgraphs in an album and write little notes under each one, with the date and details of the photos. I also have a fmily tree on my computer and I give as much details as possible about each person. I hope these will passed on to my grandchildren in the future but my personal thoughts, I will take with me.

i used to keep a diary when i was young too, and i still keep it. once or twice a year, i clean up my room. i mean, really clean up my room. i take out all the old stuff and throw them out. however, my diary is the only old stuff that i don't throw out. sure, i might have sounded really immature back then. but i still like reading my diary and laughing at myself and the way i thought about things back then. my friends and cousins told me keeping a diary is cheesy, that's why when i was in high school, i stopped writing in my journal. during the last few months though, i started writing in my journal again. and boy, it sure is relieving to write in it again. and besides, you can also practice your writing skills by writing about your daily experience in a diary.

this is really one hell of a boring thing to wrote a diary and waste your time..

I wish I did.... I used to when I was first married, but it seemed so boring! Now that the kids are so busy, it doesn't seem like I have the time... but I should get in the habit of writing things down before I go to bed.... My mother writes in a journal every single day. It's very basic, just what the weather was like, where she went for the day, if she had a good day or bad day.... I should try starting out like that, just basic, then add to it if I want to... Thanks for the idea! Bev

Yes I keep diary and write every movement of a day.

I've started one recently (and I'm nearly 30):) I find it's therapeutic nearly, It's a great way to release stress and tension. Why not start one again as it would be good to read in another 20 years.

i dont have diary

past memories may bring us happiness.. but sometimes it may even turn to make us cry...and moreover its mere waste of time..

I kept a diary when I was in my teens. The scary thing is it got lost while moving! I have no idea if it got thrown out. Or if somewhere someone it sitting getting a good laugh out of my youth.

Hi friend, during my school and college days, i too had the diary habit. But now i don't have time for diary writing, but i don't regret for it. As we have blogs and we can keep our important things in it, mylot is also a great diary for us.

One of ways to vent the heartaches is through writing in a journal. The things kept inside can be poured out through sliding the ball of pen on the pages of paper. The more you write the pain from within, the lesser you feel the pain. Looking back from the things you had written, the sad thoughts from the past will make you smile and the feeling of disbelief for being hurt with shallow things that put you into depressions.

Just last week I decided to keep a journal rather than just posting my thoughts and ramblings on online blogging sites. With a journal, your only audience is you. You don't have to be scared of being grammatically wrong or having little vocabulary. You can state whatever you want in full disclosure. And to go back to these written thoughts is such a pleasure. You reminisce those little things that made you laugh or cry. It is like keeping a history of yourself. It is more than your thoughts, it is a part of you.

yes, i keep diary for writing some important imformation i store in that one

I have tried to keep a diary but I always would forget about it so I would never write in it!

i keep diaries and still doo i love to write it and i dont mind writing everyday.. recently i havent had much time to write everyday but ive been writing since i was 10-11 years old and i havent stoped since.. i haev them all with me and they r my memory!!! i love it!!

Not, but already I had. Today my life is a book completely opened, not necessary more to keep my secrets in a notebook, now can say to the world what I think, therefore nothing more will be able to reach me. I am very happy today, much more that when used the daily one.

I keep an onine blog at livejournal.com. I find it being online it's much faster to write in, and no one can see it unless I want them to. I write in it almost daily with the daily crap that goes on, so when I'm 40 if I still have access I have a LOT to read if I want to go through it. Memories tag keeps important things in mind and easy to access. It's awesome though. I've often found material journals seem to private to share, but with my blog it's all the same thing, but I'm not scared to share it at all. Even my boyfriend reads it and uses his own... sometimes ^^0

Ive got one too. very nice. hahahaha really.. it's nice to have one. you get to release your stress. it gives me the relief i deserve. yah. try it too, guys.
