I just gathered together all of my old journals and realized that I have been keeping them (not regularly) since 1996. That’s a long time. I’ve been keeping a journal pretty regularly (especailly in the summer) since 2004. And I just declared my old journal finished (even though it still had, like, 20 pages left in it) and bought a new one that I really like.

I think that I will keep a journal for the rest of my life…because I like keeping records to help me remember past events.
