50 journal prompt ideas! (For when pictures just aren't enough)

There are many benefits to keeping a journal. Many do it for the memories of travel, important life moments, & everything in between. Keeping journals for different aspects of your time on earth is such a beautiful thing. We even know much more about the history of the world because of people like Anne Frank & Samuel Pepys. While a lot of us record our lives on social media or blogging through photographs, very few of us keep track of moments in a journal & write down details of our experiences.
