I have a paper journal too. But make sure when you write in it, they are deep thoughts...it will make for a lot more satisfying reading later. Trust me, I look at my high school journal and its all about stupid boy mush and "why me" trash. Lizzie McGuire meets My So Called Life. I have a journal now that frikkin ROCKS!! (but you'll never know) So instead of a live journal, make it a LIFE journal. You'll be happier.
