Do you keep a diary?

I think a diary kept carefully, keeping in mind that potentially anyone may read it, could be done. If the content was about capturing the essence of your days, recording interesting events or places, news going on and things future generations might value reading about.

Yes, there really is a difference. My journals were usually personal feelings but I also talked about current events... maybe I should have kept day-to-day and news things or even family events in a separate journal but I never thought to do that.
 

Yes, I've kept a journal fairly regularly since our first child was born. It's a combination of things happening with the family, vacations, milestones, etc. World events or even simple observations are mixed in. At times I'll write out what's going on in my mind, especially when I'm depressed or super anxious. It helps to get the words out on a page, and can also assist with problem solving.
 
Not a traditional diary but lists of challenges and what I am doing to solve problems and move forward in life. I do journal some unimportant events within this but mostly my journals are for problem solving. No problems, no diary.
 
I've kept a journal for the last few years. I don't write anything that I would be afraid of someone reading. And frankly, they're so boring no one would. Why do I do it? I don't know. I find it kind of comforting and it's an excuse to use my fountain pens.

I wish I had written more in my younger years. Maybe I could remember the names of more of the people I used to know. My memories are in bits and pieces and it would be nice to fill in the blanks.
 
I was born as many of us where into the "age of diaries" - I kept one for a few years and then got lazy - but the information within my original diaries are now invaluable and lost - I wished I'kept them and continued them!!
 
I keep a book of prayers to keep in touch with Yahweh. He listens, I talk, then he talks and I listen. He keeps things pretty simple. I complain...a lot. Therefore not many long conversations. I do give him many thanks and no we aren't on a first name basis. He is simply Father or Lord. I burn the book when I come to the end of one. None of this baloney of someone finding them and well you know how people are, mention God and things get weird.
