Journaling is a great tool for people that are needing to get their thoughts
in order or out of their heads.
IT is also a great place for storing your
ideas & emotions.
It is a great place to record your life so that you can look back on it later.
We use peoples's journals from the past as a way to understand more of what was going on in a time or in thier heads. Like The Diary of Anne Frank or Leonardo DaVinci's illustrated invention journals,

I have been journaling since I was in 2nd grade.
I love going back and reading things that consumed me or seeing what pictures I drew.
I used to write about how I had a crush on a boy,
or how life was so unfair because Mrs.Watson forced me to eat all my macaroni and cheese before I could go out to recess.
I kept writing all the way up to middle school, high
school, college and adulthood.
Writing got me through happy and sad times.
My journals are something I will leave behind after I am gone,
for others to know what things were like.
I write about different things now. Most of the time I draw with me writing.
This is called illustrated journaling.
Here is one I did yesterday when I was thinking about what kind of person I want to be.
Sometimes you can do something in a journal that can lead to something more.
After I was done, I decided to use it as a sketch for a painting.
Journaling doesn't have to be deep or time consuming,
I can be as simple as drawing 5 things you never wanna live without... ,
