“What’s the difference between a journal and a diary?
A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details leading up to the kerfluffle in the office, and who took whose side. It’s a bit like a newspaper about you.
A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. “I’ve made this mistake before. . . and I always make it when I rushed for time and feel panicky. But I feel panicky because I know I’m headed for the same mistake.” Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal.

These days, people seem to think that the only people that have diary's are tween girls and their little brother.
But back in the day, it was normal for a fancy person to have a journal or diary.
I tried making my own Journal when I was 11 after I read "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"
