I had a really bad day a few weeks back and in my 'rage' I quickly created a dead simple, self-hosted blogging platform in PHP for myself to keep a journal. But by the time I'd finished it, I'd calmed down and didn't see a point in writing to it. Which is in part due to the fact that I'm incredibly bad at making new habits, so while I've tried a few times in the past to journal, I just don't actually do it. My parents actually have quite a few (embarassing) journals I wrote when I was a kid. They're all scattered around my childhood because I never stuck with it. My grandfather on the other hand, has kept a journal every day going back decades. In fact, as a gift to my parents when I turned 18, he shared with them the journal entry from the day I was born. He's now working on turning his journal into a self-published book for his children, grandkids, and great-grandkids. That, and my increasingly shitty memory of small details, makes me want to get into journaling.
