What if I'm too afraid someone will read my journal? We never want fear to get in the way of saying what you need to in your journal. Journaling is private, people need to respect your privacy but incase you feel like they won't, and that simply hiding your journal doesn't help, there are a few tips and tricks to make sure people won't be able to read it: - you can use a journal that locks and keep the key on you at all times - you can use a digital journal and password protect private entries - using a regular notebook, you can scribble over parts of your journal or tape stickers or cardstock overtop. - you can simply rip up and/or burn the pages when you finish writing. -
