Is traditional journaling gone?

Is traditional journaling gone?

I am starting journaling seriously for the first time. I really am hoping that it will improve my mental health by getting my thoughts on paper. I searched journaling on TikTok looking for some prompts and a million beautiful journals came up. Bullet journaling and junk journaling seem to be trending. They are really creative and seem like a great creative outlet. But I almost feel like my journal is boring now. It’s literally just a pen and my stream of consciousness. I feel like I need to start adding pictures and stickers or something. I don’t want to look back on this journal 10 years ago and see how boring my life was. Does anyone feel that way? I know there’s no wrong way to journal but I’m I just feel like mine doesn’t measure up. I attached a picture of my last entry and I just think it looks so boring after seeing what all these creative journalers have come up with.

What do you do if you make a mistake in your journal? There have been a couple times where I would rip out the page and start over and more extreme if it was a relatively new journal throw it out and start new. I know that is crazy it's just my OCD that controls me a lot in the weirdest ways. Do you just cross it out and keep going?
