What page or whcih is the best part of your diary that you always want to read and to remember? Maybe it's the most interesting part that ever happen to you. Mine was when I made a poem that is something like a story of friendship. I burned my diary before I go to college. It's my high school diary. There's pages which when my friend read that poetic story, she cried. So, I decided not to read it anymore. It's a story about our friendship that is almost wasted. But I was happy then that she appreciated the long poem I've made. I knew it's a very good one. I have regrets that I burned my high school diary. Until now I and this friend of mine getting stronger in our friendship after she had read that certain pages.

I have kept a journal ever since I was a teenager and i am now in my 40's. I think I began keeping it to write about typical teen stuff as well as the turmoil of being a teen. i continued keeping them over the years. Even one of my college courses required that we kept a journal mostly to respond to whatever it was we were reading. Now, I require my student to keep a journal. It is a way to get to know them and to see their writing. Of course, some are into it and some are not. At this point, I haven't kept my own in the past year or so. I think about restarting, but I haven't yet. I have gone and reread them. I will have to find a trusting friend to get them when I die. I can't burn them yet!

Diary is like my best friend! Whenever something really bad or good that's happened for the day, I would automatically jot them down. I was cleaning my room the other week and I saw one big box where I've kept all my journals from high school till college and every page I read brought back memories and it really felt good to look back at how my life's been.
happy mylot day.

I've consumed three diary books. One was during my fourth year in high school, and two during my college days. I loved the third one. As to why? Diaries are supposed to be secret!

I use to keep diaries and it always contained some secrets but the n stopped it when somebody opened and read it. So when i write a diary i have to find a secret place to keep the diary which contains a lot of secrets and so then i stopped writing it. Lot of times i have got new diaries and started to write but then some reason or the other i just stop writing it. So as of now have no written diaries except my old ones which i always love to read through.

I don't so much as keep a diary about what happens, but more of my thoughts on what happens, like my ideas on various different things, like what I read or experience. I think it's a good way of keeping things off my mind and I don't worry so much.

When I was 8 up to 9 years old, I was keeping this diary. I wrote my thoughts, fears and ambitions there.
It inspires me to seek my goal and persevere to achieve it. I didnt manage to write much on that diary but when I lost it, I was really disappointed.
Now, all I do is to write my thoughts on a piece of paper then I would transfer it to a notebook. I would read it if I feel lazy, lonely or dont know what to do. It helps but can I consider that as a diary?

Well i dont have a diary or keep a diary, but i have a poetry book. In my poetry book i express all my feelings and emotions, there. I also do have friends that read my poems and break down to cry. Its weird because i dont cry when i write my poems, im usually anfry, frustrated, sad, or happy.

I keep a journal in a plain reporters notebook.
I just write the date and time at the top of the page and then write about anything I want. I've got dozens of them, going back about 18 years now.
I have re-read some of them, and they do bring the past back vividly to life - I re-experienced all the emotions and experiences again.
I'm glad I've kept them, as memories recede with time, and you tend to forget the details.

i used to keep one.
to tell the truth there wasn't really a point, i only wrote in it a few times and i've tried several times to keep a diary up to date. never have and probably never will but i often update my blog, which i write about day (what i think etc)
