Does anyone else keep one?
I've written in mine - different books, of course - since Christmas 2011. It's probably my most treasured possession. Creative writing's one of my hobbies, so writing regular entries helps that, and I find that it's good therapy too  |

Exactly
Sometimes I read through hard times & remind myself how far I've come, others I read back on the good times and appreciate them. |

"I write music instead."
I used to do that as a teen, just the words as I can't compose. Though I went through a stage when I was 20/21 where I didn't have a journal but I wrote buckets of poetry instead. |

I'm crap at lyrics so it's mostly instrumentals. |

But the question is... who writes the most, you or pooch? |

"I used to.
I burnt them all at Burning Man 2009
Why did you stop?
Because it was too much. If you'd have seen my life then :o"
Has your life changed again now though? |

To those that do or have done,
are you totally honest with your journals? Ie do you go into detail?
Started once when I went on holiday felt embarrassed after the first two days...started writing erotica instead.

Yeah, I'm totally honest. I don't ever let anyone get near it though. |

Gosh don't think I could be totally open to something that doesn't speak back...would feel like it's judging me...
Might try and pick up a blog again, enjoy writing like it's for someone even if it's only me reading it. |

Mine is a photography journal online. I used to be honest, probably too honest but too many people read it. I'm not dishonest now, I'm just much more guarded about what I say. It's a shame cause it was a really good outlet but I keep doing it out of habit and because my memory is so shite it's good to have a record of my life. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I kept one from about the age of 11 until about 3 years ago.
I think it's no coincidence that I am so loquacious here and no longer keep a journal.
I have them all (bar four years of late teens that were destroyed by my abusive first partner) I plan on destroying them as soon as I can make myself.

:O
Surely you should keep them as some sort of memoir. Perhaps edit (take out the rude bits) them into an autobiography for your family tree...
It's history... |

Itsy a history of depression and misery with sex and work thrown in. Others have done it better.
