my diary...

how many of you girls still write in a journal/diary???

i've had one since like high school. it's the same book that i write in now. i usually write in it when i can't sleep or something.

now, my question is, do i get rid of it once i'm married? it has a lot of secrets and juicy gossip in it. it may also mention a few fights me and FH had. but like that i'm not worried about. it says things about my ex's from back in the day and stuff. i dunno if FH would be upset if he ever stumbled upon it and read it.

anyone else?

I have many journals that I have written in over the years from when I was in high school. I haven't written in a few years though. I suggest you NEVER get rid of them!!!! You will be kicking yourself when you are old and grey and wish you still had them. My suggestion would be to put the older ones away in a box that is sealed shut....
(try duck tape lol)
My FH doesn't even express any desire to open them and read them, they are filled with sooo much drama he'd probably get nauseous on the first line !!!

I agree...put them away, you'll love to read them and think of things you did when you were younger, years from now. Just start a new journal for your married life..

Don't get rid of them. Put them away.

My grandma kept a journal most of her life and she kept them all. One day I was cleaning with her and she took them out and we read some stuff together. It was one of the sweetest moments.

Even though it may have some bad stuff and some juicy stuff and some happy stuff, it's all your memories and feelings and thoughts. One day you'll be glad you kept them.

OMG I haven't done that since I was 12

then i'll keep them.

see i was thinking the same thing. i wanna look back and read them.

I actually started a wedding journal. I started it in Sept.

I was just thinking this very same thing this morning!
I'm keeping mine but it's got a lot of (old) juicy info inside of it!

I do the same thing and have for as long as I can remember. Take a page from my book and DO NOT get rid of them. I did this years ago and now wish I stillhad them so I could look thru them.

Keep it hidden....I would save it!!

i agree, i just put myself in FH shoes, i would not wana read anything about how he was with his ex's or juicy details- that would probably make me NAUSEOUS

save them, but dont leave them lying around unless u dont care..

i try so hard to!

i'll buy one- keep it- write in it once or twice and then forget about it
