Are you writing the diary entries for a school project? If this is not a school exercise and you are doing it for yourself then it doesn't matter what anyone tells you. What matters is what feels right to you and what comes naturally.

Feel free to write - Dear John. Write out to your sister, brother, grandmother or mother - if that feels better.

Or you know a little weird twist - write it to your future self. So the entry would be like Dear Sonia (if your name is Sonia). And you can then each day tell about how your day went and what would you want to have in your future. That way when you read it in the future, you would have a wish list and you could cross off all you have achieved!

Just one thing - if you are writing for yourself then try to be consistent. Even if you had a bad day - mention that. If you had a great day - mention it. If you are tired and you forgot, dont worry - dont skip the next day.

Writing a diary or maintaining a journal is a beautiful habit to adopt! Good Luck!!
