What made you start journaling, and what keeps you coming back?

I can imagine starting for one reason and sticking with it for another. Was your first journal about getting something off your mind, keeping a record, or something else? Has that changed over time?

I started journaling to capture my thoughts and little day-to-day details, and I keep coming back because even a few lines feel worthwhile. An occasional sticker or doodle keeps it fun without turning it into a project.

I first started journaling to stop little plans getting lost. Now what keeps me coming back is being able to leave it for a bit and pick it up again without catching up or starting fresh.
