When my mom moved apartments she threw out all my **** EXCEPT my journals that I kept when I was 9. So embarrassing reading it 14 years later. I don't keep a diary anymore but sometimes I'll write my dreams down as soon as I wake up so I don't forget them. Kind of wish I had the discipline to keep one though, it would be interesting to read years later... but I lose interest too quickly.
I keep a planner~ it acts as well my planner lol, diary and a place for my doodles :3 I usually get one every year and make sure to fill in the important days and events cause I like looking back on the things I've written down on my planners after a few years.
I used to write in a journal after big things happened in my life in junior high. Pretty embarrassing to read these days.
I then started a blog last year when I thought I was at the worst point in my life then stopped the blog when I realized I had actually been given a second chance at being myself.
I also have a hard time keeping up with journals so I just stopped.
From maybe 3rd grade to 5th grade I had a journal every year. I think I threw all of them away after I was done with them because I didn't think I'd ever want to look back on them, lol. Even back then I knew the **** I wrote was embarrassing. Then from 6th to maybe 9th grade I was more diligent in writing and had an ongoing series of journals that I wrote in pretty regularly. I still have all 20-ish notebooks from that phase. From 10th grade to the present (the last 6-ish years)... well I've made numerous attempts to start journaling again but could never keep one going for very long.
I really would like to start writing again regularly, though. (God knows I have more than enough free time nowadays to do so.) There's something about putting pen to paper that feels really satisfying, for some reason it's much easier for me to get all my thoughts out that way as opposed to typing.
I would really love to keep one but I feel stupid when I write my feelings and thoughts down, I have no idea why. Also, I would be absolutely terrified if someone found it and read it.
I have been keeping diaries ever since I learned how to write ^^; that's a lot of books written because the only days I haven't written are the days I were really sick.
I would like to. My mind is always scattered, so it would be helpful to get my thoughts down on paper. Every time I have tried to start one I never kept up with it. Now, I would be too afraid that someone would read it! My mind is a crazy place, and I prefer to keep the weird stuff to myself.
I basically just have a bunch of sketchbooks/hournals because i always jot down my feelings while drawing. I used to have diaries and journals but i haven’t kept one in a good 8 years or so
