Journals aren't the same as memoir or works where someone is genuinely trying to reframe periods of their life as having some kind of narrative that they can gleam insight from. A journal is simply shit that happened, when, and with a bit of reflection. They're useful to us trying to build a portrait and a timeline of someone's life, but more often than not none of us were ever meant to see them.
