Some memory are inevitably funny and loving,some are definitely painful and dreary,your present status isn't your previous one,having a record of your daily life is really worth it,Life isn't too short to keep its record. Sometimes when going over this part records,it gives us strength,it makes us smile,it could be a driving force that will say 'move forward',it says get on with that dream and vision of yours,it says 'just a little more step' and that's all you might just need for your breakthrough. But all the same,some memories are bad,some are evil,some are regrettable but do we acknowledge the fact that this same memories gives us reason to thank God even for the past records,It gives us reasons to really work hard and avoid our past mistakes and pitfalls,it shows us our weaknesses and makes us right the wrongs,it gives us the reason to prepare for the future,it gives us the reason to prevent and precaution against impending dangers.Our past mistakes only sums up with the good what we call Life. Our secondly,minutely,hourly,daily,monthly,quarterly,yearly entails define our life. Every moment and day counts,cherish it,remember it,record it,see the rights,right the wrongs,feel the fun,share the pain and move on. A record well kept helps a lot,it helps to know and tell the unseen generation what is actually called LIFE.........So the lesson here is>HAVE A DIARY>>>>>>>If i may ask have you had one,do you still keep one,do you have at all??....let's answer this question and share our experiences.....

The problem here is that I don't even know how to start and maintain one.

The steps are simple,i hope this helps.....Make sure your diary reflects your personality. Some of the ways people
personalize diaries
are: adding scraps, like
movie ticket stubs,
receipts, flower
petals, etc. gluing in
photographs making sketches
and drawings writing poems choosing a
quotation or a goal
of the day Write in some basic information about yourself on the first page. You could include your name,
your age, your best friend, your occupation or school
grade, and a few of
your hobbies and
favorite things.
Sometimes people
include a "reward if found" note, just in
case it gets lost. Start your first entry by labeling the top with the weekday and date, the time, and possibly where you were when writing that entry. Write your entry as if
you were talking to
your best friend, or
even to yourself, with
enough detail to
remind you what was going on at that time.
Remember that
things may be
different in the
future. Don't be afraid to even give your diary a name. Pretend it is a real person, not a
non living object. This
one day may become
your best friend! You can write your frustrations and celebrations, but also write everyday things about your schedule, your friends, and the things you like to do. People forget things they think they
will always
remember, and these
everyday things will
be very meaningful to
you later. Try to write positive in there too. Being positive can
help you in the
darkest of times. Start again if you have a break from writing. If you do skip a day, days, or
even weeks, don't
worry about it. Just
start in again from
the current day.
Obsessively trying to catch up with all your
past events is the
quickest way to lose
interest a diary. If
you're still
remembering something weeks
later that you didn't
write about, it will
come up again in
your mind later and
you can write about it then. Don't worry if
you skip a day, week,
or even a month. No
one's keeping score. Read your old entries every so often and see what you think now in comparison to then. But do this when you
are in an accepting
mood of yourself! It
does not help to be
mean and judge your
former self and then throw away your
diary in disgust. Be
nice to yourself and
treat your old diaries
like letters from your
former self to your present self. More
importantly, see how
much you have grown
and learned from
your experiences. At
the end of the day, that is the true
beauty of a diary, of
your own personal
and emotional
growth as you strive
to better yourself every day. Make sure you hide it too. It's a personal diary so it needs to
be safe! A hollow book is a good place to hide a diary. You can also hide
your diary in other
places like
between the
mattress and the
bed frame, stuck up under a table/
chair, in a video
case, in a shoe
packet, or in your
jacket.
