I’ve been journaling off and on since I was 13. There may be months that go by without an entry, and then I’ll write/paste/paint/draw like mad!
The silences between the entries tell stories, too – that other things in your life took time…
It is cathartic! I have boxes of them. I don’t journal as much as I used to, but it is so good to have a place to put your feelings down – if you don’t want anyone to read them, write them down and then paste something over the entry! Make a collage and cover it up. I do it a lot. I get stuff out and no one has to know what I wrote.

It’s not that hard to make your own art, especially with all of the inspiration on the internet. You don’t have to buy it from an “Artist”. (Although there are many artists selling works on the net.)

This may sound crazy, but I used to read the dictionary out of boredom at work. I always liked words and like to express myself differently. Words are cool! Better to be a bibliophile than an ignoramus! Having control of your language is fun.
