It's one of those things I've never talked about with other people, the most I've really been exposed to journal keeping in pop culture is Doug Funny. People don't talk about their personal journals.
Ever since I was a teenager I've sometimes felt compelled to write about major events, and over the years this has become the habit of keeping a journal that I write in almost every day, and sometimes I go back and read old entries. "What was I doing this time last year?" I also sometimes keep notes or such intentionally for future reference.
So, if you keep a journal, do you go back and read it? Why?
Sometimes, although I usually don't write that often, unless it's a dream or something emotionally significant since that's what my therapist recommended journaling for.
When I look back on entries it's usually to revisit a dream a/o interpretation, or thoughts about/experiences I had with people who aren't an active part of my life anymore
