Searching for an Alternative Online Diary Solution

In summary: i have entries that are from 2007-2011 and entries from 2012-present and it's been a great way to see the growth of my thought process and to see how my understanding of those experiences has grown.

Greetings !

I don't know about diaries in general, never had one
and never saw the need, but open online diaries just
sounds like a stupid idea to me, no offense to anyone.
Why would you want one at all ? Aspecialy if it's an
online free access one ? (Just curious. :smile:)

Live long and prosper.

drag, some people like to write down their thoughts that are of significance, for example, i keep an online journal of the lessons of life i am learning, so that one day i may go back and reflect...keeping a journal is a highly effective release for some, as a child, i had over 10 diaries by the time i was 18...

I can understand why someone would want a diary but the idea of a diary is to write down your thoughts, why would you want to put a diary online so that anyone could view it?

Yeah, that was my second question as well.
Also, Kerrie I can partially understand this because
I also do write down seemingly great ideas when they occur
to me, but I certainly do not record my daily experiences
or my thoughts about them. As far as I'm concerned if there's
something like that that's interesting - I just use a camera.

Live long and prosper.

personally, i do not use my journal to record everyday experiences either, i did as a pre-teen as the little daily events of boys, school, and parents were all that consumed me then...now i use mine to almost write a history of my growth in a wider scale...
