I kept a diary as a teen, which I binned in my early 20s as it was completely cringeworthy 😆
The thing I've kept was what I called my 'stuff books' - sort of like a scrapbook with cinema tickets and stuff stuck in it but also book quotes and music lyrics, that sort of thing. Keeping those didn't survive my PhD though, and then I started Livejournal while I was writing up my thesis, which has been a sort of diary at times.
I've tried to keep a paper diary just of little notes like walks I've done and wildlife I've seen a few times since but never kept it up for long. I might have another go this year though, it'd be nice to have a record of things I've found in the garden etc that doesn't rely on FB or Twitter. And I do have quite a few lovely notebooks!
