personal diary
Secret written thoughts
A personal diary is a private journal where someone records daily experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
Unlike journals kept for specific purposes—travel logs, gratitude journals, dream diaries—a personal diary emphasizes intimate reflection meant only for the writer: She poured her secrets into her personal diary.
The adjective personal underscores that the contents are not for others' eyes.
