My teacher (native Japanese) has suggested that I keep a diary. But my shitty neet life would just lead to me reusing the same phrases over and over again.

I'm such a fucking failure dude

Instead of keeping a diary about your own life, maybe you could try writing some diary entries from the perspective of a fictional character?

who cares if you look mega autistic, writing fiction like that is probably the best and easiest solution here. Stretch your creative muscles!

Maybe a make a diary of fictional events that you want to do, like your first trip to japan, where would you go, what would you do while you're there?

Write about games you’ve played, manga you’ve read, stuff you’ve watched. Write short reviews or notes on them.
