Keeping Journals

AUGUST 20, 2016 

I remember having kept a journal ( a diary ) since I was 13 years of age. Like a few hobbies that I have since then left.....this is one of the few that persevered. Sure..I don't write in everyday...it's only when I come across a moment in life where I think "I'd like to not forget this."...since I am very forgetful.

I've always noticed a feeling of relief...or satisfaction washing over me after I've written down what I needed to. Obviously that makes it one of my most prized and private possessions. For some reason I seldom come across someone who still write journals these days. Not one person in my group of friends does. But it is nice to be able to see our personal growth when we sit to read through all our old journals. 

It feels like putting pen to paper is becoming rare with all the technology and apps available to us nowadays. This is a habit I don't think I'll get over.
