What is the difference between a diary and a journal?

I journal, almost every day. I journal all my thoughts just like I would a diary. I've been journaling all my life and it started for me when I got my very first diary, when I was a little girl.

Most people don't call it a diary anymore, but for me it's a place where I keep my thoughts.

I have boxes of them as I've been writing my whole life. I keep them in my closet and I hope to one day put it in a book, of memoirs called My Life In A Box.

It's my journey, which has become my journal of thoughts and experiences that dates back to a point in time in my life.

For me, a journal is the same as a diary, because it's my personal thoughts of all my lifes experiences.
