Opinions... what is the point of a Journal????

"whenever I've used a journal its been for collecting resourcing categorising and cataloging bits of information or work that's inspired me but I've found that its always been a personal thing its specific to the person who creates it in terms of the comments and the contents of it.

it could also be argued that its primarily used for storing information. i don't know much about them that's just what i gathered from me experience with them"

"although I don't and probably will never have one, I would say to record your everyday happenings because it could mean a great deal in a couple of years. Who knows, you could get famous for something and that journal could explain how you got there.My 2 cents, hope it helped, see you on monday. :)"

"to remember what i have done in the days previous to forgetting what i have done in the following days."

"Write down shit you usually forget so when you old and in a home because your children no longer love you, you can look back and think I WAS A BAD BAD MAN"

"I think the purpose of a journal is to document something. The reason for it is dependant on the writer." 

 "to record your thoughts and express your feels aswell as keepng something about a certain moment. like say if your traveling you can forget afterwards what it was like. you have them to remember. 

"as a outlet. so that they can emotional express themselves and as a way to consolidate and have all your thoughts and ideas in one place."  

"I will never keep a journal... they just get you into trouble. Something about putting your innermost thoughts onto paper leaves you feeling vulnerable. But its fun to read other peoples hahaa" 

"of course there a good thing, way of expressing yourself isn't it. and for people to see peopels work and ideas" 

"to collect thoughts and ideas otherwise forgotten." 

"Journals are awesome for like travelling and stuff. I'd like do stuff like that because i like looking back at stuff and remembering and having a laugh but I dont actually have one..too lazy haha. The point i think is to have somewhere to vent and keep memories too :)"
