The journal of the soul: writing one's inner life

It is not the day one records, but the soul one listens to.

Romanticism made the exploration of the self, through the diary, the confession or the letter, a path to the truth of one's being. To keep one today is to give oneself a place to set down, with no witness, one's emotions, dreams and contradictions, the better to know oneself. Not to record facts, but to listen to what the heart knows before reason does.
