TEXT FOR NOTE

DIARY: YOU LIVE DAY BY DAY

Why write diaries?
Some people consider them indispensable a reminder of what they are
going to do each day. A diary, however, is more than just an agenda or a
list of appointments you are going to keep. It varies from a list of events to
a secret record of private thoughts. People write diaries for different
reasons. Some people do it for fun: they like to read their diaries a few
years later. Others define a diary as sort of photograph album in words.
There are even those, specially among teenagers, who think that a diary
help you understand yourself. It makes you think and form an opinion on
what you are writing. In fact, many people, famous or ordinary, in fiction
and real life, write diaries.
