I used to have no interest in keeping a journal, but since 2016, I started writing down my dreams, which takes a lot of time because I have multiple dreams every night. Last year, I started keeping a journal and writing reviews of every book and film I read/watched.
My dream journal and normal journal are very detailed. I don't just write down my feelings. I record what I see, what I do, who I met. They're filled with trivial things. I even considered buying a wearable camera so that it records everything whenever I go on a trip.
I think I'm addicted to recording my life. I spend more and more time writing journals everyday. I'm guessing the desire is caused by fear of forgetting. I want to keep everything recorded, so that 10 years later I can still take out the journals and re-live the day.
I plan to start writing comments to my past journals, making them so complete that even a stranger can understand exactly what happened.
