There’s something reassuring in writing down the day’s events. It’s acceptance, in a way, that certain things happened, and however you may feel about them, they aren’t going to change. When you finish an entry in your journal, the day is over.
It doesn’t matter if it was a good day or a bad day – the events have been written down on paper, where they will forever serve as a reminder. If you journal about the worst day of your life, at least you’ll be able to look back and know why it was the worst, and hopefully grow from it.
A journal is proof of life.
I used to write in my journal every day. I haven’t done it lately (and by that I mean since junior or senior year of high school), but I’m planning on taking up the habit again while I’m traveling this summer, and I hope it will stick.
Plus, I have a really nice travel themed journal (two, actually, since I have no self control) that I’d like to fill up.
I stopped writing in my journal a while ago amd i think i should really get back into the habit of writing in it.
