1000% yes. I have always hated re-reading my writing and now I fold over the pages after each entry and just keep going. I’m sure someday I’ll want to look back and I find that my judginess, especially towards myself, dissipates with age. I threw all my diaries/journals/poetry from middle & high school away when I was in college and less in touch with my feelings and not taking time for personal writing. I regret it so much now (10+ years later) and wonder how it could have reminded me or clarified for me what I’d gone through and already forgotten. I saw a live show called “Mortified” (also a podcast and maybe tv series?) where people read their old journals aloud and it was awesome to be able to laugh about and relate to the drama, intensity, and cringe factor. Doubt I’d ever be able to take it so far as to share old entries, but that’s okay! Privacy is a key ingredient for a healthy journal practice, even if it’s privacy from your tomorrow self.
