S/O: How do you define JOURNALING?

...Words come easily and first to me so they are often an integral part of my pages. It can be multiple paragraphs, it can be just a few sentences depending on the occasion pictured and documented. It's not unusual at all for me to rely heavily on writing to set the atmosphere beyond the photo. I'm not much of "this is who was here and the reason why was XYZ" writer, more someone who evokes things the pics couldn't capture (chapter in life, non-visual senses like smells and sounds, the topics that were discussed if it was a gathering, etc.). It's actually my favourite part of documenting.    In many ways, scrapbooking is a way for me to expand my journaling beyond the words. Maybe that explains my minimalist aesthetic (at least in part)...
