TIMELESS

The desire to tell one's story is universal. The practice of keeping a personal journal or diary can be found throughout history, with Marcus Aurelius' To Myself and Japanese Pillowbooks as ancient examples. The explosion of blogging is the most recent example that the practice of keeping a journal not only survives, but thrives amidst dramatic changes in technology.
