Keeping a diary

These days, the number of people choosing to document their lives through diaries is decreasing. A hobby that used to be a regular part of daily life for many now only seems to be an archaic form of expression, with most people turning to social media to vent their feelings. But the beauty of keeping a diary is that you can write as much or as little as you like, whenever you need to let off steam. It’s an extremely personal account of your life – the good and the bad – and the best part is that you can look back at previous entries, remembering and re-living precious moments through your own words. OK, unlike social media, you won’t get anyone else’s reaction to your words, but at the end of the day, does that really matter?
