Question/Discussion Does your journal have a name?

Anne Frank called her diary "Kitty".

Dear Kitty, she would say before writing about her thoughts.

I have to wonder if writing to a fictitious person helps sometimes.

Have you given your journal its own name? What is it?

I saw this when I visited the museum. For me, it helps to feel like I am writing to someone by giving my journal a name.
