What to do with old diaries/journals?
I kept a diary/journal from age 10 to my mid 20's and have 2 paper boxes full of them. My question is I am no longer interested in keeping them around. They contain a lot of private musings, some of which cover particularly hard times in my life that I have no desire to revisit. So what do I do with them? I feel like I don't want to throw them in the trash where they could be re-read. Do I burn them? Find a shredding company for them to be shredded? Thanks everyone! :-)

I recommend https://berkeleyshreds.com/services/paper-shredding.html, I have used them many times. Please don't burn them, that just sounds dangerous.
