Thumbs up Diary

Two answers...
1. Burn them so no one reads about your deepest thoughts.
2. Clean them up. Sanatize them, condence them and put them in a readable format and donate them to a library.
My wife is a jenelogist and has checked out biographies of local citizens from which she dreives the personal feelings of a wildwood citizen no politics, no left or right leaning just true life as seen through the eyes of a working man.

Although many of the entries related to my everyday activities--such as school events, dating, family problems, I also included my opinions of what was going in the world--politics, fashion, religion, trends, etc. I thought I would put this question out there to see if anyone has any solutions or suggestions. Thank you!
