Keeping a Diary?

Recently I have gone back and read some of my old diary entries from WAY back, from when I was in about second grade! I couldn't read my hand writing and I still consider my handwriting not all that great. I read back, and some of it was from sixth grade and man...I get all embarrassed thinking about the stuff I wrote down, I really haven't changed. Anyways, I was watching a show where the main chracter writes in a journal often, and I thought I'd give it a try!..for like the sevententh BILLION time. Ya, I'm kinda lazy...but I've made "SO MUCH" progress with keeping up with it. Twice in a row, yeah fantastic! I realized how much fun it is to go back and read all the diary entries, and it's also fun to think throughout the day, "Oh! I'll add that to my journal when I get home!"

My mom actually keeps a journal too, and at first I was all like "Whaaaaa!?! You could just talk to meeeee!!" She said she writes down her day and stuff but I'm just like "uhhhhhhh, have fun with that..." It actually is like talking to your friend or something about your "feelings" and stuff (not really the sentimental type over here). Also it helps me "learn about myself"... I regret saying that it's true -_- I don't tend to get all girly and gushy over things either soooo, ya. I do suggest keeping one though, just for the fun of going back and reading it! o(^▽^)o

I look forward to rereading my journal when I'm in college or lots of things have changed, and I can read about my friends and remember my life as it passes. Though it seems to pass slowly, it actually passes very quickly!
