Hi AchyT
Journals are great for any reason or rhyme IMO, or anytime. I can only imagine what it would be like to show mine to anyone, you are a brave soul to share your work, insight and bare naked thoughts! Kudos to you.
I was introduced to journaling in the 7th grade English class. lol. Loved that I had a private place for my private thoughts. Yes, I still journal to this day, no I don't share them with anyone. I have kept a few for the drawings or poetry, but usually at the end of the year I tear them up in pieces and cast them to the wind....letting it all go.
I use the 94 cent black and white composition books.
Have tried using my computer, but love to use my writing tools in real life so much.
Some things are just sacred space, for eyes only.

Good post, thanks.
