We eventually got a new roof so the boxes had to come down. And out they went, unread. Ahhh, relief. I felt lighter and a bit unburdened.

I didn't care about my husband reading my embarrassing teen musings, but I had nightmares of my mother in law having a snoop. I'm not saying she would do such a thing, but it still freaked me out.KezUnpreparedhttp://awesomelyunprepared.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-35072587540838155112013-11-15T19:35:36.307+11:002013-11-15T19:35:36.307+11:00I also kept a diary as a teenager but I was so ter...I also kept a diary as a teenager but I was so terrified someone would find it (ie my mum) that I burned it. I've regretted it ever since because it would be hilarious to read back over it now. You can't relive those years (a good thing perhaps) but it would be nice to have more memories of them.Denise Mooneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-10389815170274027342013-11-15T15:22:49.126+11:002013-11-15T15:22:49.126+11:00I've kept a journal since I was an angsty 13 y...I've kept a journal since I was an angsty 13 year old locked up in boarding school. All my past journals, plus the one I write in now, live together in a little shelf in my room. I love flipping back to see what I wrote exactly one year ago, exactly 5 years ago etc just to remind myself that I am, in fact, moving forward. Sometimes when life gets a little funky I tend to forget what things were like back then. It's a good perspective. And I love that I've passed on the thrill of journal writing to my kids. Mr 8 and Miss 7 keep journals of how they feel and what's gone on in the day. Mr Fabulous 6 also keeps a journal, but he just writes "I like you" on every page. He'll get there.Benita (Missbenben)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-9998361231206695222013-11-15T15:17:56.728+11:002013-11-15T15:17:56.728+11:00I still have my teenage diaries, I can't bring...I still have my teenage diaries, I can't bring myself to throw them out. I have tried, often, but I know I would regret it. Even so I have no idea why I keep them, I would die if anyone ever read them. Sometimes I might open them up and catch myself reading them, I get lost in the time warp. I've never kept a digital journal apart from my blogs I guess, but they are different.Jodi Gibsonhttp://www.jfgibson.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-30784149745225019412013-11-15T12:42:34.626+11:002013-11-15T12:42:34.626+11:00I journaled online, as a teenager.

A lot of the things I wrote are still on the internet, and sometimes I like to go and read them again to remind myself how dreadful everything was. If you would like to do this also, here's some of the blog I wrote when I was in Year 12 - https://web.archive.org/web/20050318204133/http://edible.nu/hs/Anna Spargo-Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-44274605276707231792013-11-15T12:17:44.709+11:002013-11-15T12:17:44.709+11:00I've never kept diaries - consequently my life...I've never kept diaries - consequently my life is like swiss-cheese... huge gaps where I can't remember much of anything... I suspect the act of writing must reinforce some memories...<br /><br /><br />Maybe it's my ISFP personality type - we like to live "in the moment" - so it doesn't bother me that much for some reason... maybe those memories will come back to me in my dotage - I've heard that they can...John Jameshttp://johnanthonyjames.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-9999700633458903922013-11-15T09:52:00.990+11:002013-11-15T09:52:00.990+11:00I kept diaries as a young angsty teenager. Diaries...I kept diaries as a young angsty teenager. Diaries with my thoughts and magazine cut outs representing my angst. Chewed up chewing gum of the boy I liked (which I had retrieved from the bin!! - don't judge, I was IN LOVE) and my deepest personal secrets.<br /><br /><br />One particularly angsty day I decided to burn my past in an actual physical fire. It is my single biggest regret.Lananoreply@blogger.com
