What is a journal, and what is it for?
A journal is somebody's release, a journal is a memory keeper-but what kind?
Why do people only feel the need to record an event or a feeling in a journal when it is sad or depressing? why do people only feel the need to let out what is happy and keep what is not?
Why do you speak of happiness but write of sad stories?
What do you expect of people after reading your journal? Empathy? Sympathy? Compassion?
Do you expect differently of your friends after recording your distress? What if they don't react?
Then what? Do you get angry? Or maybe you'll just wallow in self-pity?
What is it with journals and sad events?
It's as if everyone in the world is having the worst days of their life. It's just too depressing.
Makes you think that life is not worth living.
