from about age 14 or so til my late 30s - I kept a paper journal... I wrote in it on a daily basis... and every new years eve, I would burn the journal in a blaze of glory or something... Kind of like out with the old - in with the new - there probably was some stuff in those journals I would have like to have preserved but there was probably more stuff that I didn't want... and I surely didn't want anyone else reading it...

Lately I've been thinking about doing it again... but I can't quite motivate myself to get there...
