Who out there keeps a journal?

Tweet

For the last couple of years i've tried to keep a journal but I have had my days of forgetting or just simply had nothin to write about. Some say that it's a way to keep organized and get your thoughts out on paper to feel better. I don't know how the organized part works because it seems that when I keep a journal everyday that in a way it's making me less organized. Like one more thing to do or write in and not lose. But then again i'm not so sure so just curious on how many people find it helpful to keep a journal or how don't and would never keep one. I guess it would good to look back in a few years and see what was going on in your life and to show your kids stuff like that. In my journal I also write down things I search on the internet and get very overwhelmed maybe that's my problem. I do find it helpful letting my thoughts just flow out of me at times but it's also kind of difficult. I write alot of songs and I also put them in my journal. Maybe the way I went about writing in my journal is the problem like I should get a index or something. Well I did some research on journaling and found that most people or at least this is what the website says is that most keep there thoughts in the journal. I do go weeks not writing in mine because I forget but is a journal something I should be forgetting about? When I opened it againg I found entries in there from high school about my ex boyfriend and it made me laugh looking back now and how different things are now. But anyways sometimes I wonder about keeping a journal. In high school I had this teacher who would make us write I page every friday in a notebook about anything we wanted he said it helps open the mind and helps to get the writing flowing for other assingments. Which in a way I guess it did.
