I don't have a journal here because I have a paper journal. I've kept one for years. I've found when I write on a word processor (or anything that uses a keyboard + monitor) I erase things I don't like. When I write with a pen, I can't erase anything. I find it makes me more honest with myself.

I started keeping a journal back when my parents separated which was... 10 years ago now. At the time, I wasn't comfortable talking to either of them about the other, so I wrote. Looking back on what I've written in the past, keeping a journal helped me because I think on paper.

I don't think I'll ever keep a journal online, since I use my journal to get in touch with my emotions and to me that's very private. I think I might start a blog though, something a little less personal but still relevant to friends and family.
