You are not alone. I don't journal, but I've tried on & off over the years. I find I had more 'fun' building the framework* to start journaling then actually doing it. IMHO Journals work good for those who are not introspective. It's a way to "discover" how you really feel about a topic/day/week/trend and to extrapolate from there. I already know the dozen or so reasons "why" I am unhappy, but I also recognize the choices that I made to get to this position and it's better then the alternative. * from VIM keybindings, to EMACS, to a web-diary, to some other variations I've discovered that my roadblock to writing it down isn't my hesitancy to write it, but to face the truth of what I have to write.
