*Diary Entry*

"Dear Diary" these r the first words written at every page of a diary entry.People write a diary to keep a track of the important events everyday and also expressing your feelings attatched with it.Some ppl are of the opinion that its written so that they can sometime just read it and remember the good old days.They get a feeling of nostalgia remembering the childhood days which they never wanted to end.It may helps them to retrospect and also make them laugh or cry.

Apart from these common facts i am of the opinion that it may be done by people to get Vicarious feelings.People who dont get the needed attention or are not able to lavish their feelings on anyone generally like to share their feelings with their diaries.This makes them get the feeling that they are able to share their feelings with someone real and helps them get it out of them else those things would just keep swimming in their heads.However this kinds feeling can also be attained by reading romantic books or movies but writing a diary entry seems more convenient as you can do it any time u want.The diary remains quite personal so attempting a clasdestine would not be good for your health. :)
