Journaling helps mine remember overtime

I did when I was a teenager. Then my mother found it, read it, and yelled at me about what I wrote. So I stopped keeping a journal after that.

I started journaling when my son was killed on a motorcycle. I have 9 steno books of those horrible early days of grief. Almost 20 years later, I have never opened them to read my thoughts.

I kept a diary when I was a child, is all. Was embarrassed when I read it years later, so would never keep a journal as an adult.
