Differentiating Between Diaries and Journals

Diaries are time-bound collections of emotions and experiences that provide a log of daily events and feelings. They offer a non-judgmental descriptive account of what happened and how it made the individual feel. Journals, on the other hand, are focused on synthesizing ideas and thoughts. They are not necessarily time-bound and involve the exploration and interplay of thoughts and concepts, separate from daily occurrences.
