The Journal

Ilustration (taken from www.globalhealthhub.org )

After watched "Girls" the scene when a couple wanna breakup "just" (can I say "just" ?)
because the man read a journal.
Seriuosly...how you can easily breakup "just" because a journal? (-___-)


I don't how many people have a (the) journal(s) in their lives.
I have few but sometimes I forgot I have them:))
Sometimes I just don't know what the different between diary and journal.
I use those things for the exact same thing: TO WRITE
 *yeaaahh, of course*

This is the definition of journal (oxford dictionary):

noun

• 1a newspaper or magazine that deals with a particular subject or professional activity:medical journals [in names]:the Wall Street Journal

• 2a daily record of news and events of a personal nature; a diary: while abroad he had kept a journal
• Nautical a logbook.
• (the Journals) a record of the daily proceedings in the Houses of Parliament.
• (in bookkeeping) a daily record of business transactions with a statement of the accounts to which each is to be debited and credited.

• 3the part of a shaft or axle that rests on bearings.

So,  journal and diary are equal.
I use it to write my short stories (fiction of course) you never knew when your inspiration come.
Cause they come and go as their like.
but I don't (never) use it to write my private or dialy live in it.

One thing for sure:
Do not believe of what you read in the journal.
Not every one use it wo write down their daily lives.
Do not take it too seriously.
I might be not the only one who write down the short stories in the journal.
