I don’t have very detailed recollection of events, I remember like the equivalent of a one paragraph summary for entire events that should have like 5 pages of detail. I feel like I’m missing parts of me. Brains sucks so much when it comes to storage capacity.
I don’t bother much about keeping them safe. Something I think we discussed in the journaling community but I can’t recall when and if that’s not the case, the is more than worth discussing it over there ;)
Short answer: it’s not hard (nor long) to take snapshots/scans of each new page. But it may also not be that important… it all depends how you view your journal.
