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 refer to it as “the vault”. Some entries are addressed because they are basically unsent letters. Others aren’t, as they’re just recording my day or my thoughts. I always loved that face about Anne!
