Last week I found my old diary when I cleaning up my old bedroom. I had that diary when I was in Senior High School. When reading that diary brings back the old memories from how excited I am when I had my first date until how happy I am when I celebrated my 17th birthday.
Finding that old diary makes me realize that I already started the form of journaling since I was a teenager. I started using a diary when I was around 12 or 13 years old. Back then, most of my diary is about my feeling toward my crush. Then as I grew older, I started using a planner to write about my dreams, goals, and future plans. Lastly, in the past three years, I’m using the Bullet Journal.
I realize, the older I am the more simple of journaling that I prefer. But, reading back the old diary makes me realize that writing in a diary will capture the moment. It’s like take a picture but in the form of words instead of an image.

i write in my journal every day. I started many years ago. It really helps!
I am still learning to write in my journal consistently.
it takes time and patience. I think years ago it took me 4 months.
I agree. This year I’m a bit on and off. I even skip a whole month.
It’s one of my 2020 resolutions to do the journaling consistently.
i find the ideas for my blogs in my journals. It really helps me get my ideas down!
I started writing a diary in 2005 and I want to keep it forever. It makes me feel better, the first thing I do in the morning is to write my Diary and I do not feel well until I have written it. There is not a single day without writing.
I heard make it a habit and daily routine is really good especially for your mental health.
I am so used to write my diary that I need to write it every day, this is because I have been writing for many years and I feel I am doing something wrong if I do not write.
Totally understand. It’s hard to break a habit that we already build for years.
I used to journal a lot, but this lat year I suddenly stopped writing.
Why? Do you not have time anymore?
they’re admissible as evidence…
I never maintained a diary in my whole life.
How do you captured your memories then? Photos?
Yes. Photos certainly.
I think someone has a talent for writing when they enjoy reading their old diary. 🙂
But it can make you embarrassed with your old self, especially when you read about your love life lol
It definitely does. I didn’t really keep a diary, but I made attempts to write poetry, and they are very embarrassing. 😀
Ouh, you like to write poetry. I like to read it, but I don’t have enough talent to write one 😀
I didn’t have talent either, haha. Just teenage emotions. 😀
At least you have the courage to make one, me?
I’m too shameful to created one lol
I sometimes write in a journal.
I wrote my diary only in schools yeard, then stopped and threw away.
Any particular reason you why stopped doing it?
I’ve stopped writing diary after my teens …
Most of the entries I feel too embarrassed to read haha
I can feel you lol
Most of the things that I wrote in my teenager’s diary is about my feeling.
beautiful post , thanks for sharing
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I’ve never written a diary, dear friend … I just have it in my head … there’s something wrong with your post … I have no questions
I know it’s not for all of people. None of my family member use diary 😀
