I throw them out each time I start a new one. The reason is I don't wish them to be found (it is easier to hide one than the dozens I have completed). I also write about some pretty dark material which wouldn't be healthy for me to read. Journalling is an act of release. I don't need to take it back.

Actually for me I would like others to find them, but only after I die. I would like others to know how I lived and what I did and why I made the decisions I made. But keeping them is very risky. If anyone knew my life while I'm living, I would be in big troubles. Also, I feel writing to a journal lack the interaction element. Here you feel you are telling someone somewhere of what you are writing. It feels different to me. Of course, even here I cannot write everything. Somethings cannot be written. If I could make sure no one would read my journals, I would write every single detail of my life.
