The “body language” of journaling

It's information you receive from how you went about the entry other than the content itself.

For example, say you're reading an entry and you notice the handwriting looks rushed and the entry itself is very detailed.

For me, I'd conclued I wasoverflowing with emotion at the time. It would tell me I was passionate to the extent that I would write quickly and include a lot of detail.

It's natural to reepathize with yourself. It's natural to be teleported back to when you wrote that entry. The act of sensing changes and differences in the "vibe" of an entry is worth naming.
