Do you keep a journal?

do you keep a journal? if so, what kinds of things do you write in it and how often?

Answer #1

I do keep a journal and have for many, many years..I am 66 years old, and retired..(yeah, yeah, an old guy!!) I started my first one back in 1961 at age 20!! and have kept them up all these years…it is really, really worthwhile to do this!! keep it up if you have already started one…at times I go back and read them, and it’s like ‘who was this person??!!” you cannot believe that you actually felt and wrote that way and that the things that were so important, or awful, or whatever, were really what was on your mind…these days I write in it about 3 or 4 times a week, or whenever I feel something should be added that I might find interesting in the future..sometmes things that are going on in my family, friends, where I went or what I did, etc…Once you have started, do keep it up…and then, when you get older, like me, you can look back and have a good laugh or two…

Answer #2

I have so far written 7 FULL Diaries Since 2005. I Write about Every day Life such as people I’m attracted to and I like to describe their clothing (I’m a fashion designer) and I Just plainly admire lots of folks and write about it for future Ideas and I talk about my family going on adventures and Shopping! One silly entry about 2 years ago, I was on the Highway and I passed a police man in his Squad car , Stuffy a Hand-FULL of French Fries in His Mouth… WHILE DRIVING!! And THEY say its a Distraction!
HAhaah!

Answer #3

that’s cool loulou11. I do that too, but I play the piano. you’ll know when I’m mad because I’ll play something dark and heavy and I’ll just pound it out! one time, I broke a few keys and we had to get them fixed!!! ha ha ha.

…that doesn’t really have anything to do with journals…I just realized…

Answer #4

I write a lot of poems and my feelings. That is really the only way I can express my feelings freely and not hold anythin back because you dont have to worry about what others will say or judge.

Answer #5

ha ha, that reminds me of my old diaries. they were filled with billions of thoughts about the boy I “thought I was going to marry”. please. I was in 6th grade! what a waste of energy!

well, if nothing else, at least we probably improved our handwriting!

Answer #6

Yeah, I have one. I write in it probably about twice a week. I write everything in there. Things I find funny, Poems, songs, how my day was,etc. I also keep a journal type thing with my friends we keep it for a week and then pass it on to the next person. We started doing that in like 7th grade and we just kept it up. :)

Answer #7

I found some old diaries of mine recently and I regret one thing a lot. My diary entries were SO BLAND. “went to kates house, sat on the porch, ate chips…” then, “borrowed dad’s car, bought a dress for saturday ..”

OMG. No thoughts. just an endless list of things I did or bought. I wish I had written more stuff about private feelings, happy, sad, thinking, wondering, but I guess I always thought someone would find it and read it.

Answer #8
