I was thinking it was a tomato/tamato thing but it really isn't. However I don't think age or maturity has anything to do with it.

"It’s a question I get asked all the time. “What’s the difference between a journal and a diary? A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details leading up to the kerfluffle in the office, and who took whose side. It’s a bit like a newspaper about you.

A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. “I’ve made this mistake before. . . and I always make it when I rushed for time and feel panicky. But I feel panicky because I know I’m headed for the same mistake.” Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal."

Anne Frank wrote in both diary and journal form. I don't think anybody can think of her as either a teenybopper or an adult. Really she was both as we all were

Another example: all those fitbits are really just automated diaries. I heard one guy interviewed who collected all his payments from forever and learn a lot from it about himself. His priorities, interests, earnings. That is a form of a diary. My "journals" are definitely a hybrid. I keep a diary that is really a diary at work. It is notes to remember things, meeting notes, names of people, phone numbers.

If you do want to feel adult about it... If that helps... Get a moleskine. If you don't have that kind of cash Handbook (the brand) is really good too.
