People who keep journals or diaries, do you hand write or type? (lemm.ee)

I am looking to start getting into this. But I have never enjoyed writing. I also feel a little iffy knowing that my diaries are sitting around somewhere in my room and my family can find it at any moment. If I were to type it would be faster, more secure as I can encrypt it, and it would not get lost as easily as I can upload the encrypted file to a cloud.

However, is typing any less effective at making you feel better than writing?

I mean, it's hard to write when you don't have anything to write about. Try keeping a journal of things when you move to other place or go camping, there probably would be a ton of stuff to write about and keeping a journal would be much easier
