i keep one since i was 12..and i must admit that i didn't write for a long time now,but i have at least 5 or 6 notebooks full of my thoughts and situations since then till now...and it's been almost 10 years..it's interesting to read the after a while and remember how you were back then

well,thats the beauty of it,u dont have to write everyday because then it becomes boring..i only write when i have strong feelings,of sadness and happyness,or when something bothers me and i dont wanna share it with others..or even if something bad or great happened to me..its fun

I use to. But you are right it is very fun to go back again and read them. It kinda takes you right back to those days in your mind! I am glad I kept a journal back then

Yes I too keep diaries, have for many years now and I write all sorts of things in them. I have all my old ones put away and perhaps one day in the future my descendants will be interested enough in what happened in our life to read through them. :)

I used to keep a diary and a dream journal, until my Mom read my diary and I got into trouble (as a teenager)... now, I keep a mental journal.

Yeah I did, when was like 9-13? Then I moved on to blogging at livejournal. But I grew out of it I guess. When you grow older, typing your problems doesn't seem to do anything anymore..

for me it always helps writing down the problems...and if it doesn't on the moment it does later when i read and remember
