writing a diary is always regarded by my teachers as one of the good ways to improve our writing skills. apart from that, they think diary quite likes a window from which we can know what others are doing as well as knowing more about ourselves. that is to say, keeping a diary help cultivate our ability to observe and analyse.
besides the above advantages of writing a diary, maybe, someone would also add something, for instance, abreacting our emotion. that depends, i think. for some introversive people, they seldom reveal their true feelings in public places. they tend to hide their thoughts partly because they are so afraid what they think is so different from others or they just consider it scorn to share their ideas to others. then they turn to diary for help. writing a diary can be called as a secret. no one knows the existence of it and therefore, they are able to easily express what they really think, sometimes happy things while most of the time, unhappy or even miserable experiences. the diary only belongs to them and no one else has the right to open it. it seems to be an invisible friend to them and whenever they feel lonely and depressed, a diary is the most reliable listener, never getting impatient. i do believe that writing a diary to those introversive people will be of great benefit when it comes to abreact their emotions.
for my part, i have no such patience to keep a diary. in my point of view, writing a diary is so tiring that i cannot be perseverant enough to write it for so long a time. the most important part is that i'm quite a sociable and extravert girl who prefers to make friends with different people with different personalities. natuarally, i possess so many friends to communicate and exchange our feelings. then whenever something unhappy occurs to me, i'm inclined to turn to my friends for help instead of a diary. for me, a diary is not so vivid as a friend. also, my communication with my friend is mutual. the conversation we make seems to be much closer to me. writing a diary, however, is the process of inserting only my feelings to it. i cannot receive any feedback from the diary itself. then how can i view writing a diary as a good way to relieve my emotions? that's totally impossible.
overall, different people hold different attitude towards keeping a diary. do you still remember the judiac girl who kept a diary during the world war two named "A DIARY OF ANNE FRANK"? at that time, the girl had no friend. when confronted with cruel situation of war and such a big fear for it, she simply formed a habit of writing a diary which relieved her fright to a large extent. also, the diary she kept was reserved as one of the most precious information for us to make a survey of the world war two.
however, it's just impossible for me to keep a diary. the face-to-face communication with my best friends is always more useful than writing a diary when it comes to abreact my emotioons.
