I’ve kept a journal my entire life — it’s just a very normal thing for me. I recently reread one I kept in first grade, and it was quite a pleasure (and quite hilarious) to read.
I just want to know why other people out there keep journals?? I don’t exactly know why I do it… maybe someone out there can help me figure it out

ever since i was little i always wanted a diary. like they did in all the pre-teen books i used to read. and i always asked Santa for a diary but i never got one i liked. i wanted on with a key lock!! so finally, i was like 11 or 12 when i got it and thats when i started. i was never the type to write in it everyday but i tried my best to do so. so now when i go back and read it i cant help but to laugh!!! one thing has not change tho. im still just as boy crazy as i was then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as i got older i kept a journal. i kept 1 because it helps me sort out my thoughts. and i can confide in it things i cant tell my friends or family. i never wrote too much in it in fear that someone would find it.. but now, when ever i do write it in, i try to keep it as honest as i can. sometimes u cant b honest with the poeple u want to be honest with. sometiems u cant even b honest to urself! always trying to hide some kind of feelings. so my journal is the real me. and i hope to one day give it to my daughter… (if i ever have any kids!)

I feel better when I wrte down what I’m feeling because it means I am less likely to take out my feelings on someone else. The journal helps me get rid of those feelings. I can also revisit places and events through it.

I have been keeping an art journal. It’s a way to express myself with words…..and pictures.

Yes I do. I think it is just fun to write and express my feelings.
