Do any anons keep a daily journal? What do you write about most of time and have you written something on it that people won't know about in hundred years but your journal is only proof of it existence
>>82893390YesWhatever is troubling me, progress on my projects, things that stand out. Very rarely do I write about anything that is happening in the world. With how things are today, I don't think we will need personal diaries to remember or learn about stuff from the past, like the pepys guy you are probably thinking about.
I've had a journal since I was 14 and I'm 31. I update it with life events yearly or more often depending. It makes me sad to read back on little me suffering but it also makes me happy to see I'm still the same person. I highly recommend it. I also have a scrapbook and a travel journal. Do any anons have good journal entries they wanna share or scrapbook entries? Block out personal info or faces if you want I just like seeing designs and formatting
>>82893390I've tried keeping many journals in the past but I always lost motivation. The only one I stuck with since is one where I write my dreams inI started it pretty recently (april) but forgetting your dreams is easy so it's fun looking back on the ones I wrote about even just a few weeks ago
Love the idea but can't do it daily.Also quite scared it will be found/read.It's quite a therapeutic.Thanks OP I'm going to give it another try.I want to do more life/plan goals bullshit stuff.
my life is too mundane to keep a daily journalhonestly at this point I doubt I can fill up a page for an entire month
>>82893772Why don't you try detailing your thoughts? I have a pretty mundane life too, but I produce material from my mind through introspection alone. If you watch/play/read any form of media try writing about the story and how it made you feel. Its not that complicated. Detail your thoughts, track progess etc.
I like writing thoughts, ideas, or processes and plans.
>>82893390yes i keep a list of what i done that day and i write random shit i use it like a notepad.I also keep "sections" ig for the gym or what things i want to buy and then if i still feel like i need it 5 days later i put it on the real list and if i dont i take it off that way i prevent impulse buying (I buy a shit ton of books that i then half read out of guilt)
>>82893390I used to have a txt file on my old laptop that I started on my first day of freshman year of college and I periodically made dated entries in it and I stopped on graduation day
>>82893390yes i kept a journal pretty consistently from after turning 18 till before i turned 23. most of it is mundane, but some stuff about what is troubling me, what i want to do in the future, rants about people and politics. how lonely and sad i feel some days. i had a mental breakdown after this party in the woods earlier this year and felt incredibly low, i stopped writing my journal because all i felt was that low and i wanted to forget about it and distract myself and to not focus on my thoughts. i stopped writing. i got a gf and we spent most days doing stuff together, usually while drunk. i wanted to be lost in the moments, not write about every little detail when i got home, just relax and enjoy life. i write something like a blog now, and the occasional journal entry, but scattered about parts of my social medias, not a real journal. 95% of my journaling is very mundane. aka this happened then i did this then i did that bla bla bla
>>82895747conti liked that they were essentially a very long story of my life, and i would get really happy whenever i finished a journal and could buy a new one to start the next one. i would feel like i was living in a new chapter of life and really proud and satisfied i finished one.thanks OP for this thread, i may figure out a way to print off the stuff i have written and continue with the physical copied. each journal looked different, i would pick a unique looking book with little doodles. it is a good kinda story of my life.
