I like to write my thoughts and feelings down on paper; Not exactly a diary, but just a way to express my feelings; is this girly? Is there a better way that I should go about this?

Nope, expressing yourself makes you human, not girly. Even if it's just a way of getting your thoughts out of your head, or a way to organize/brainstorm what's on your mind, there's nothing wrong with that. I do it all the time, when something's bothering me that I can't quite put my finger on, or if I'm just feeling down about something and need a way to step back and look at the situation more objectively. Now, if you were posting all your thoughts and feelings on livejournal or some blog expecting people to read them and feel sorry for you... that WOULD be kind of girly, in my opinion.

Call it a Journal or a Log, not a diary. Its not limited to women, Captains kept Logs which we hear of alot these days. Not girly, but a great way to express yourself in a safe manner and a way for you to deal with your private thoughts.

Why not.If it would give you satisfaction, Go ahead and write your thoughts and feelings, be honest, but never hurt any one in your writings. Unless you want to discuss writing is better than talking to others.

i wouldn't call it girly it's like a log basicly it's keeping track of everything =)

I dont think its girly at all, in fact, its probably one of the best ways to deal with your feelings.

There's nothing girly about writing down notes about the going ons in your life. I did it for five years once. The benefits of this informal journal were astounding. It did many things for me re-reading some of the bad days' stuff. It taught ways of dealing with anger, ways of preventing getting myself committed to do things that I couldn't follow through on, and ways to not let people get my goat, etc.... etc...
