Do you keep a diary?

Post Reply New Topic

Like in the title. Do you have a diary? Do you like writing down your thoughts on the sheets of paper? Or maybe you're keeping abreast of the times and your diary has a form of a blog? I started writing many times (and also I started keeping a blog several times) but every time I felt bored with it after some time and I resigned. But I am going to start writing again. What about you?

I used to have a diary, but put it aside after I got bored with it. After about 6 years I started writing another one, but it didn't last long. Now I just randomly write down my feelings on random pieces of paper whenever I feel like it.

Diaries can be too dangerous to keep, depending on what you write in them...

I can't keep a diary. It just seems too formal to me. Plus everything starts to sound fake somehow as I write it down.

I too have lots of little pieces of paper with my thoughts on them all over the place, though.

I blog and journal my dreams.

I've tried to blog in the past and gotten bored quickly. It helped me to have a focus. If it's just about whatever's going on e.g.

"Dear Diary.

Today I went to the supermarket and picked up some veggies for a stir fry. It will be very yummy. My arm itches. I have dry skin. I wonder what it would be like to be able to breathe underwater..."

then I really can't stick with it. My attempts at generic blogs weren't that mundane (usually it was more random thoughts about my life and the world around me peppered with a lot of daily events) and I still couldn't do it.

It's true, sometimes it may be dangerous.

When I was a child, I was only 8 or 9 in that time, one day I hit upon an idea to start a diary so I found a thin copybook without cover and with only a half of sheets but then my love for details apperared and I decided to write down EVERYTHING what I did that day, including cartoons watched by me and what I ate for breakfast but I realized it's impossible to write with so many details so I put the diary to the cabinet in my room, resigning from writing. After some time when I had already forgotten about it, my mother found it and despite my protests she grabbed the diary and read. There wasn't anything that could compromite me, she could read my school composition as well (apart from the fact that I always truly hated when somebody not being my teacher read my homeworks) but I felt humiliated.

i dont have one because i get bored with writing

yes i keep a journal. ive been writing for 3 years noew im just finishing my third composition book which is from 06-07 and the others are from 04-05, 05-06. i do like to write and when i do its ver real and creative. its one of the only ways besides music and art i can express my self.

yes-its mosty a personal path I am starting to go on
(to discover myself)

I've kept a diary for thirty years. There isn't an entry every day because I only write something down when it needs saying but 2/3 of my life is in those notebooks. If the apartment was burning down the order things would be saved is:

Girlfriend
Diaries
iPod
Laptop
Everything else

I manage to keep a diary although some days there's not much to write about !
I find it therapeutic to look back and remind myself of a few happy occasions
or situations I can maybe learn from.History is one of my interests so it figures
that I should record my own.

I used to, but haven't done so in years. However, I do discuss the daily activities of my cats on the Siamese site I frequent.

I keep a diary and have done on and off for the past 7 years. It was only when i began to live alone that i was able to start keeping a diary as when i lived with other people (family then boyfriends) i had no privacy so felt it wasn't 'safe' to keep a diary.

My thoughts are very private and i would hate to think that someone had read my diary and discovered my true feelings about many things. If i want someone to know how i feel then i will say something, but somethings are left unsaid for a reason.

I'm going to start writing a diary tomorrow and to keep it for all my life, like L. M. Montgomery or queen Victoria but I can't motivate to do this too much I've bought a diary many months ago and I'm hiding it in a cocktail cabinet in my room

I've just recalled my blog I had kept for very short time more than two years ago: http://web.archive.org/web/200502141152 ... g.onet.pl/

Unfortunately it's in Polish but the posts concern: technigues of lucid dreaming, my contests mania that was starting in that time, my cousins, my problems with computer I was having then (I had downloaded a virus when I was watching chronophilia porn out of curiosity ) and Tarot deck I was creating on my own instead of preparing to the New Year's Eve party like normal people would do

This board is my diary.


I'm a very public kind of person.

I used to when I was little until the people in my family kept trying to read it. Never really had any privacy so I stopped writing in it.

I started a paper diary the day I turned 13.

As of today, it's still into effect and I am in the slow process of digitizing (scanning) all of my past diaries for future viewing
