As a user of Facebook, I've seen people post on the internet their deepest feelings, daily activities, life memories and more. Innermost thoughts, personal and private emotions all out there on the internet. That's suitable for some folks but not for everyone. Those heartfelt messages enter into a paradoxical world where they live forever but are unable to be retrieved. It would be so nice to read those sentiments over and over again but they're lost. Those messages can be read once but then lost for good. With technology changing at supersonic speed, and the newest electronic device useful only until the next one is developed there is still one way to save those lovely thoughts...a handwritten diary.

I agree DerdriuMarriner, Anne Frank's diary became more public than she ever expected. On social media, I don't understand why people share their innermost feelings with the world, or with anyone. (I'm a natural introvert).
candy47, Thank you for the lovely products and the honor to Anne Frank's brave, tragic story. Diaries and social media appeal to the trend toward transparency although a diary focuses upon a private context of explaining oneself to oneself and social media tends toward a public context -- of explaining oneself to others -- that is far wider than participants often realize.
I agree Sarah. People tend to make their personal lives public, that's not always a good idea.
I love the idea of the diary vs. putting it all out there on facebook and other social media. People need an outlet and on the web isn't always the answer. I had several diaries growing up and they helped me through some of the toughest times in my life.
