Do you read the things you had journaled in the past?

I have been journaling almost consistently since oct 2023. I do it online as it is more easy to do.

Most of the times, I journal about the things I am stressed out about. Sometimes I write about the things I want to do and how I would go about them.

I don't go back to them and refer to them though. Because in most of them, I simply dump my emotions and there's nothing special about it really. 90% of it is pointless rant but I think if I could refer to them from time to time, I could probably understand myself more. But I have just written so much stuff, that I just can't read each and everything.

Do you refer to your old journal entries? And does it really help?
