Diary...a five minute prompt!
A diary is really important, it helps keep record and store information that needs to be stored especially for reference purposes in the future. Diary is private because it can contain some personal information that should be for the owner's eyes only.
At first, I always assumed a diary was meant for those who easily forget things, so they have to write everything in detail or in summary, whatever works for them. I said this because I was finding an excuse not to jot things down, mostly because I have a very good memory, I can remember things exactly the way they are.
But it's not necessarily true.
We need to write some things down, delicate things which might be help to us sometimes.
Now I see clearly, despite the fact I have a very good memory, there are tiny details I do not remember. I only put the dots together when I check what I wrote down.
A man passing through a lot can share his diary with having to narrate his story.
The other assumption I use to have was that a diary was a ladies thing, and guys don't need diary. It's too emotional, lol.
But really, it's not compulsory you fill it everyday but just when you think you have something important to write.

I believe the agenda is called by many a diary as well. I use them to make notes, scribble or have info at hand (I don't store my life, keywords and so on on a device, a cloud or any platform and the agenda in my phone I rarely use. I don't see any point in filling billy g's data centre.
A diary is indeed private and to many a friend as well, the thing you hide if molested and in need, lonely, sad, depressed or you don't dare to write in it too afraid someone will find it.
You remind me of my friend's diary I found while helping her search for a missing document, she was surprised I saw the diary.
It contained exactly what I needed to know about her, she was not happy I went through the diary and I was sorry but the content strengthened our relationship because I realized I have not been there enough for her, so I put in more in the relationship. The diary was indeed a blessing to strengthen our friendship, and although I would not go through her diary without her permission, I am glad I read the diary that day.
Thanks for stopping by.
For your friend it worked out well and also for you. I am not sure if I would want to be friends or have a relationship with people who violate my privacy since that is what I would never do.
By the way it was the opposite for me since I've been nearly beaten to death as my diary was found which was a good moment to keep the diary empty, that diary...
Wow, I'm sorry for your experience.
I know now it is nice to give people their privacy.
