" I've written a crap load here. lol Only friends can see it, and it sort of releases some issues within oneself.

It can become addicting though and I find depressing, so I've started to curtail it abit, because I tend to write about all the depressing things happening. In short, it can make you depressed, if you know what I mean, if do it too much.

I'm sure my friends just shake their heads, thinking I ramble on and on about the same things, and never really solve anything. But, oh well, it's anonymous so who cares.

Good luck to you on this. "

" I have been keeping a journal since 1984. I keep all of my journals in the big popcorn tins, so as to preserve them. I do periodically get them out and re-read them. There have a few months in some years that I slipped and did not write anything, but when I finally did, I tried to catch up on what I missed. These journals have been a delight to both me and my hubby, as we did a lot of traveling in years back and now we just have to open a journal, read and re-visit those wonderful places. I recommend this practice to anyone. "

" i write journals but i havent on here in a long time. I have a spiral i write at here at home when i am really upset, i call it my bad journal. I normally write in it when i am upset with my husband for some reason or another. It is just to get my feelings out so i dont take it out on him.
It is hard for me to journal about good things, it seems with all that is going on the bad always slips in and i am trying not to concentrate on the negatives that are going on in my life.
It is very very theraputic though. I have done it for years. "
