Does a journal talk back?

Anyone who has kept a journal knows somedays you gotta wonder "why am I doing this?"  Why am I talking to myself here? I could go on and on one day, but, why am I doing it? 

Over time, if you give it enough time, you learn journals "talk".  (No, I don't mean to lonely, or is that loony, people!)  Writing answers your own questions, gives you solutions you hadn't thought of 'consciously' (eh, 'conscious', what is THAT anyway, LOL). Problem is, you can't push it, you cannot 'make' your journal speak to you.  Writing out thoughts and problems gives you a new perspective.

Sometimes you won't like your journal's perspective though.
