Journaling Through History: Documenting Personal Experiences During Major Events

Life Planner

Journaling has long been a tool for recording personal thoughts, feelings, and events that shape our lives. It’s a way to capture the essence of our experiences, helping us process emotions, make sense of the world, and preserve our memories for the future. During times of major global events—whether political upheavals, pandemics, or environmental disasters—journaling becomes an invaluable tool for documenting personal experiences and contributing to the historical record.

The Power of Personal Accounts

In the face of major events, personal journaling allows individuals to reflect on their daily lives, fears, hopes, and dreams. While news outlets may provide broad overviews, it’s personal stories that provide the depth and richness of history. Think about the way Anne Frank's diary helped the world understand the horrors of WWII or how people’s written accounts of the 2020 pandemic have contributed to the ongoing understanding of the crisis.

Why It Matters: Preserving Our Stories

In the modern age, with the rise of social media and digital platforms, journaling has taken on new forms. Instead of traditional notebooks, we’re seeing more people documenting their lives through blogs, vlogs, and social media posts. But the idea is still the same: preserving personal accounts of the times we live in.

Journaling During Major Global Events

During events like the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic or the 2025 Tibet Earthquake, many turned to journaling as a way to cope with uncertainty. Not only did it provide an outlet for emotional expression, but it also helped individuals track their physical and mental health through turbulent times.

What Can You Document?

  • Personal feelings and reflections: How are you processing what's happening around you?
  • Changes in daily routines: How has your life been altered by the events around you?
