Yes. I started it when I was 14, and I'm 33 now and still writing. I don't write everyday, or every week sometimes, and sometimes a couple months will go buy in between writings. I tend to write more when my life is tough and I'm struggling with something. So my early twenties, for example, I was writing everyday for years. Now, later in life, I try to write at least once a week but sometimes that doesn't happen. I make sure to write about milestones. A new job, or a raise, or a move to a new place, or meeting a girl, a night of partying or drugs, or finding out my wife and I were having a baby; stuff like that i never miss. I have a box with about 40 some notebooks, the big mead 5 star 1 subject ones, all full. I never write a ton, and when I do make an entry I try to keep it to a page.

For me, the purpose is more in the writing itself than ever reading it. Might be neat for my daughter or someone to read them someday after I pass though. But for me the actual process of writing and putting some thoughts down on paper, and my current mental and emotional state is the reward I get out of it.
