People who’ve journaled for years, how do you feel about your diary now?
I started journaling around 3 months ago, and now I’m wondering how I’ll feel about my diary when I grow older.
I think having a diary is really cool. So many small details get forgotten from day to day, and it’s nice having them written down somewhere. At the same time, it can feel exhausting trying to write everything down and remember every detail.
I almost never reread my diary. I write about my day, then it just sits there. I already finished my first notebook and started my second one about a week ago.
At first I wrote consistently every day, but now I skip some days and talk about them later instead.
So my question is: how do you feel about your diary now? What do you usually write about? What advantages and disadvantages of journaling have you personally noticed?
