Diary Log-in: why keep a personal journal?

Log-in Date: 2/3/2010

Diary Log-in:

Why do we keep personal journals? They are the diary of our life. The human condition is one that is short lived even for those that are considered to be what we call 'old and grey'. I, for one, want to be remembered long after I am gone; for the life I lived, the positive influences on my surroundings, and for who I am. I want to truly be known. The people we have in our life may think that they know us, but they don't know our inner self. This is usually what we share in our journals. I wish that the family and friends that have died in my life had kept a personal journal that I could go back to, and remember them. It is because I was so young when they died that I barely remember some of the experiences that we shared.

  1. That's so true, and i never thought of that while journaling. I recently burned all of my journals and have yet to start another one.. I'll keep this in mind.
