Journaling and capturing memories and information is not for future you to look back on, or for future generations to stumble upon. It’s simply for present you. To help you process your thoughts and feelings. To give you some structure to work with. Sure, future-you or future generations might appreciate the journaling you did. But ultimately, the real purpose behind journaling is to help current you and nobody else. This understanding changes the way you journal in the first place. --- ## Context - [[Life Lessons]]
