Diaries should always be kept secret.

The purpose of diaries and secrets, from my point of view. A diary is probably the most "secret

place" in the entire world; because you're keeping your own thoughts, etc., all to yourself, until

you decide otherwise, which brings me back to (auto) biographies/memoirs, as mentioned

previously. The secrecy within diaries and the human creative expression is connected to intimacy,

and it is vital since you own and write in this book daily, and no one else knows about it but you.

This is why a diary is one way in which you can creatively express yourself freely without noise or

interference from anyone or anything. You don't have to be a seasoned professional author to do 

this exercise in your own place, and on your own time, time being one essential factor that we lose

on a daily basis getting older. People have been known to buy locks and/or vaults for their personal

diaries, this gives a further sense of privacy and security, like nothing else in our lives really can. 

Why do authors/writers, amateur or pro, feel the need to release autobiographies?, mainly as another

means of income for their bank accounts, and even to boost their egos I suppose. If anyone thinks

that in today's 21st century ever--changing technological society that the internet is a secret place, it

is indeed not, and for all the wrong reasons as well, too many reasons of which to even mention here.

Lastly for today, I've never owned or used a diary as my most secret of places, even though I've been

a semi--pro creative writer part--time as well for 24 plus years. However, given the tumultuous last 

35 1/2 years of my life since my high school/teenage years, for the purposes of personalization, I 

should have had a diary, or at least a literary "journal" of some kind. Until tomorrow or next week to 

my loyal readers and supporters, thank you kindly as always and bye for now from Central Canada.
