I used to keep a diary when I was a kid. I always remember one year for Christmas I got a diary with a lock and a key and I used to use that all the time, it was popular at the time and everyone wanted one for Christmas and I was overjoyed to get one when I did.
It's a shame as I feel that phased out and most don't tend to do that anymore.
I did, up until my privacy was violated and it was used to incriminate me by my parents. I will never again use one. I keep my personal thoughts in my head.
Back when myspace was super popular (20+ years ago) I would keep a blog on there and write in it all the time. I didn't care if anyone seen it or not. However the girl I dated at the time was upset because I barely mentioned her when I'd write in it which made her think I was cheating on her.
I didn't. I wish I would have. It would be nice to have something to look back to for memories. I really don't remember 10+ years ago at all at this point. 😛
No I don't.
I couldn't bring myself to use a diary. May be I am just too used to keeping things by myself and I couldn't bring myself to write them down.
I did use to have one in paper. I ended up bringing it from Mexico. No way I was leaving it unguarded with my family. 🤣
It is so cringe yet interesting how even back then I had a fragmented sense of self.
