I think they are both very good ways of communication but I really like writing in a journal because no matter where you are you can always carry your journal and it is easy to just open and write down your feelings. All of your thought pour out like a stram would flow into a river they can all come out at once or your mind can be frozen and only let certain thoughts pour out on the paper and the ability to go back and look at the way your hand writing styles change with the different feeling you felt as you were writing and everyone loves to draw little doodles to correspond with things they said for example: if I write I love hot wings, which I do, I might draw a heart or a little hot wing or a real wing, but just as another way to express the way I feel. Journals are private for the most part and can hold numerous amounts of secrets and all of your emotions. You can be angry and no one can be mad cause you cussed them out and you still got the chance to vent and get everything off your chest.That is for the most part why I think I like journals...
