Do you keep a journal? Why/Why not?

If so, in what format (online, paper, other)? For how long have you kept at it? How honest/full-disclosure are you?

I'm an over-50 gay man thinking about taking it up again.

Thanks

It's nice to sit down and just write about your week, like talking to an old friend/family member about what's new. You never know what comes out. I use an old Kindle Scribe that I don't do anything else with. It sounds like you have privacy concerns?

Privacy concerns: YES

Nosy parents found my teenage journals before I came out and that set me up for 'don't be gay' therapy.
