Do men still keep diaries, memoirs, etc?

I do, but I am a ship captain.

Probably similar to our work calendar's. I put all my shite on there.

I have a work calendar. I don't put my feelings on politics, other people, love life, life goals, etc on there.

I write my diary right here. On tRant.

I believe in the concept of a journal, but these days, anything you write down will eventually be held against you.

People in our time are obsessed with your private information and feel they have a right to it. Especially if they can leverage it to their advantage. It’s one of the things that really sucks about modern society. No boundaries. No respect for privacy.

My husband keeps one of those 5 year one minute journals, but I have no idea how often he keeps up with it.

You must lead a sad life if you can't keep a journal without constantly worrying about people reading it

They are 10 and under - things will be much different when they are adults and have their own kids.

My dad died when I was young, and I have never wished he was still around more than I do now in my mid 30's.

I've kept one for years. No one has read it

Get a handle on your life

I write occasionally in Field Notes/Moleskines when we travel and during big events.

It's not like deep thoughts, just summaries of places we go and stuff we see. I like having records of little shops and bars and restaurants we've been to. I also think it'd be cool if my parents/grandparents had that type of stuff to pass along, so hopefully my kids will feel the same.

Likely our times won't be as interesting as prior generations (depression, WWII, 60s/civil rights) but I suppose you never know what'll seem interesting years from now.
