Diaries & Journals

Over the past 3-4 years, I’ve been keeping a series of diaries. I’d write in them whenever I got bored just to update on my life and write my thoughts about certain things. After the diary would get filled up, I’d wrap it in duct tape and number it. The main reason I wrote diaries was so that I could read them when I grew older. I remember writing all sorts of little notes and stuff to “the future me”.

I was cleaning out my closet and I found an old diary that I never finished writing. The last entry was written last summer. I was going to seal it up like I had done with the other ones, but I was so tempted to read it just then, and so I did.

I was really surprised at how much I have changed since just last summer. I also realized how much I used to fight with my parents :smack: and that too..over the dumbest things! I was an angry little bacha back then :bummer:. Some things that I read just really made me laugh at how stupid and naive I was. Other things actually made me cry because it reminded me of so many things.

Anyways, so I read the diary and I sealed it up and put it in the box with the other closed diaries. I’m debating over whether I should start a new one that I can read when I get older.

Have you ever kept a diary? (or do you currently?)

Re: Diaries & Journals

i kept diaries for 9 years........i started when i was in my early teens and ended when i got married and moved....before getting married when i was cleaning up my room and sorting my stuff i put those 9 diaries in a case,locked it and gave the key to my mother that these are among the few things i want u to keep safe in your house and never let anyone ever touch them.......when i went back last year i took out that box and read a few of them.,.....i realized how much life changes in just a few years....
at times there were foolish things written,about friends and class mates,fights with sisters,test grades and stuff....somethings made me laugh and something made me teary....but thats almost a decade of my life and its so precious to me.....one day i'd like my kids to read them too and learn about their mom when she was young...inshaalah...
somehow i tried to keep a diary after marriage too ,but got lazy....:)

Re: Diaries & Journals

Umm yea. I noticed you use this 'lack of free time' excuse a lot - like as to why you're not married yet. :p

Re: Diaries & Journals

writing a diary with regularity is cathartic.
so i highly recommend documenting ur life by this.
