Burn my diary

i am glad that my father is willing to burn them for me. after he gets done burning it than he will give me the ashes for me to keep but in a few years i will bury them because i dont want to carry around the past in my hands i am done with it.

Thankfully(!), I never got around to doing this, because after a recent death in the family, I needed the memories. I think I’ll look for a more secure location for my journals, though.

Well, technically, I don’t plan on burning my diary, just shredding and recyclying it (gotta be a little Earth friendly, right?). Just waiting till I fill the entire book . . . .

Does anyone regret doing this? I don’t want to burn my diaries but I worry that I will regret it one day. Unfortunately there is so much crap in them that I don’t want ANYONE to read EVER that I feel like I should dispose of them. Ahhh dilemma.

My boyfriend refers to my divorce as the fire. I lost my diaries in the fire. It is for the best.

Just dont want to still live in the past… So, I will do this in the near future I guess.

I had some diaries from my teen years. I decided that I was “starting a new life” as an adult and I trashed them. Now I really wish I had them to look back at!

burning my diary was like somekind of liberation.

I regret the diary I burned when I was younger. Now I look at my current diaries and debate torching them.

I kept diaries all my life, since I was about nine years old. I have all of them. The volumes from nine through seventeen are in a trunk in my mothers attic, the remaining volumes 17-27 are at my house, buried under the clothes that I mean to donate to Goodwill. The problem is, I do actually want to keep them, so I can write a memoire when I’m really, really old, like 35 or so (hahahahaha). The problem is, if anyone were to read them in the mean time… The early ones, well I’m pretty settled on what happened then and I don’t have any sort of hang-ups about what I was feeling or thinking… it is just the more recent things that I need to work through myself. I would really hate it if someone were to read it and then use some of the items as weapons… errrrr.
