What is the purpose of journaling? We all may have our own reason, or even a few.
Is it to keep a record of what happened in the past? Or to make a plan for the future? Or do we want to just make sense of the present?
I don’t write a lot about the past so my journaling isn’t to keep a record. I’m also not big on future planning, though I should do more of that, so it’s not to look ahead.
I suppose I try to make sense of where I’m at today. What is happening now.
Maybe reflecting on the past and projecting into the future would help me understand more about my present.
Knowing where I came from and where I’m going reveals the path I’m on now.
