Is there a difference between diary writing and journaling?

I don't do diary writing or journaling, and I know when I was younger it also didn't really grab my attention. On this topic I don't have a clear reply. I wat to say yes, but I also want to say no, as I have gone through a lot of self-discovery stuff, fitness journeys, living a better life, etc. And all of them had journaling or diary writing in common to check your progress, backtrack or just to help with a positive mind.

I think that writing a diary is a very important experience. It was coming of age when I was an adolescent. In my adult life, I organize my thoughts around the writing techniques that I learned from writing a diary. It is a solitary ritual that has lasted for a long time. I think that it is here to stay.

I do not think it will ever get outdated. People may transition to writing on computers, but keeping a diary will never be outdated.

Yes, almost paper diaries are outdated nowadays in this digital era. Only about 8% of the population currently keeps a diary.

Yes. Many people have stopped keeping diary again. In fact, I am struggling with it even though I wish I could.

I don't think so. Even in psychological healing methods, writing a diary is considered a good technique to help unravel feelings, sharpen writing skills, and help us understand ourselves.
