Daily diary/journal

I've never been the type to keep a journal. I do write about my HOCD in my EC blog when I don't think people will be able to reply or I want to write a lot.

 

I kept a diary from the ages of 13-14. Though I'm thinking of starting up again, if I can find one with a lock and key this time.

 

I try too but I never stick to it. Maybe I will this year

 

tht is my resolution in this year .to Write everyday in the diary

 

I do not keep one. I never will.

I had a sibling pry through my room once only to find a letter with some juicy details in it. They weren't about me. A friend recounted a story where a married male customer had had an encounter with him after work hours and he detailed it quite humorously.

The reason given for the prying: "I need to know what you're up to. You're very secretive." We're dealing with an unbalanced individual here. I may be quirky, but I'm milquetoast by comparison.

 

I keep an online one I'd like to keep an actual one but my family's too nosy

 

I have kept a journal for many years now. It's been a way to process my thoughts and understand my sexuality mostly. I don't write in it daily, but I used to. Lol nowadays I write entries six months apart at times. It's pretty interesting to go back and read about things you don't remember. I burned my original journal earlier this year. It was filled with ravings of an idiot child and it was really embarrasing to read even though no one else would've seen it.

I use one of those cheap VAULTZ brand lockboxes. They work well.

 

I have tried and just forgotten.

I did wipe my childhood blog though, because what was there was making me uncomfortable, because the child was an idiot.

 

I've been keeping a diary for about eight years. ^^ It's interesting to go back and read some of the old stuff, even if some of it is really silly nonsense.

 

The only time I ever kept a journal regularly was during a year I spent travelling in India. l went through three books. I also wrote letters and postcards to my parents a time or two a week and when I got back it turns out that they had kept all of them to give back to me thinking that would be my record of my trip. I still have all of it and have actually gone through and read sections several times as a way to relive this very eventful year.

 

I don' like committing to a daily one because it feels like a chore, so I write letters to myself whenever I feel like a rant. I also have an irrational fear of being in a car accident and getting brain damage and losing my memory, so I write what I think other people would forget to tell me if this happened.

 

I don't write one daily, just because it becomes too tedious. I usually write when something new and exciting happens. So in the beginning of high school I was writing almost every day. Nowadays, it's more like a couple times a month just because there's so much less to write about
I also keep mine on my computer in a locked folder due to the potential curiosity of my sisters

 

I used to between High School and end of Military Service. I am still keeping those notebooks around house somewhere.

However I barely write about things happening outside as my journals usually focused on my own philosophical BS and inner struggles as gay teen who was extremely alone and thinking he's one of a kind...

I think with everday use of internet I learned I am not alone in my struggle so that really lifted that heavy burden of being a freak upon my shoulders. This ended my need for talking all by myself.

 

I have one....it looks like it was written by a 7 year old manic cause I only write in it when im feeling crazy or sad...I like to look back on it so I can see how irrational I was thinking and that way when i read it i can think calmly about the issues...sorry about not using commas and junk for people it bothers

 

I wrote regularly from the age of 6 to about 15. I just lost interest lately. I update one every couple of months but it stopped being as fun.
