I Keep a Diary
On and off. I tend to go for long periods without writing in one, and then I start a new one eventually.
I mainly just record the goings on of the day, but occasionally I put in my thoughts and feelings as well. I just want to keep track of who I was at the time, especially on the everyday level, since I think it's important to keep an eye on where you've been.
Oddly enough I seem to make a habit of forgetting to write about the big events in my life- I guess I'm usually too tired and/or busy actually participating in them to write an entry for those days-but then again, the point of the diary is to record the little things I'll forget anyway. The big things I usually remember in detail. It's strange to look back on the last four years or so since I started writing these things too. I was a right chump.
I'd write more big posts on SW if I didn't though, but I prefer it since it keeps my entries private, and I know from personal experience that I usually hate anything I wrote more than a few years beforehand, so it's best I don't have this stuff in the public eye I think.
