Whether that’s because I need the info as a measurement tool for my own feelings and thoughts or because I’m just nosy, …
Journaling
Over the years, I have journaled about basically anything that can cross one’s mind – traumas, inner and outer conflicts, hopes, plans, goals, failures, decisions and regrets, gratitude, and anger issues.

You’ve probably picked the most perfect and cute notebook or a vintage leather journal and are ready to reap all those benefits everyone says come with writing your thoughts daily.
