In my will I'd ask my lawyer to burn them all before anyone in my family/life can read them, if I don't end up destroying them myself before I die.

If they did end up reading them, they'd find years and years of my writing out pain and suffering, lots of depressing and angry writings. Eventually they'd read my overall emotional development as my well-being and mental health got better. Also they'd be reading about all the secrets I've been keeping from people throughout my life, my hidden opinions of friends and lovers. Some explicit details about sexual encounters.

I write it down to get it out where no one else will see, I never intend for these journals to be read by anyone other than me.
