Dear Diary ...

source

So something really cool happened last week ... I was going through some boxes of my old stuff (my mom recently moved) and found an old diary that I kept from age 10 to 13!  Even more awesome is that I had completely forgotten about this diary. I have been reading through it with my boyfriend and we both find it hilarious! I feel like I have completely forgotten what it's like to be a tween and am ever so thankful to be able to read through it and get a glimpse of what I was like at that age. I can say that yes I was completely boy crazy. I am also struck by how mean girls are at those ages and am happy to say that I did not completely lack insight at that stage.

I have kept several journals throughout the years which I have not forgotten about. I find it really hard to keep a journal since I am getting more and more busy as the years go by. It sometimes feels like a chore to write in one so I just don't. I wonder if kids these days still keep a diary??? With facebook, twitter etc. it seems unlikely that they would. I guess one of the reasons I am drawn to blogging is that it's basically another outlet for documenting my thoughts, desires and the events in my life.



Do you keep a journal?
