It's always been important for me to keep a journal. But I've never been very good at it. I've kept a journal on and off over the years. My best stretch was on my mission. Looking at the journals I do have make me grateful for the record that I have kept and they inspire me to do better.
I think journal keeping is important for me and for my posterity.
It's important for me because it helps me see how I've progressed over the years. I sometimes read through old journals and think "I was so silly" or "I can't believe I did/thought that!" But I could just as easily be saying, "Wow. I'm such a different person now. I've really become someone amazing and special. I've grown so much over the years."
I think journal keeping is important for my posterity because I want them to know who I am. I want them to know what my life meant and what I did with it. I want them to be proud of the life I lived. I want them to have footsteps to follow in.
