All about journaling

摘要

If Dear Diary records the events, people, and places of life, think of Dear Journal as peeling back life's layers to explore their significance and emotional impact. Journals can take the form of essays or poetry or the non-form of stream-of-consciousness fragments. They can emphasize nature, family, spirituality, reading, or just muddle along with no particular emphasis at all. In some cases, journals are the wellspring of great works of art; in others, they are simply a way for one's mind to cope. For nearly all these categories, there are Internet sites to document, instruct, and inspire journal keepers.
