I'm 23 and have been thinking about starting a journaling habit, but I'm not really sure where to begin.

A lot of people seem to swear by it for self-reflection, productivity, mental clarity and personal growth. But when I sit down with a blank page, I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to write or whether there's a "right" way to do it.

What should I realistically expect from journaling?

I'd love to hear what's worked (or didn't work) for you. Any beginner tips, mistakes to avoid, or unexpected benefits would be greatly appreciated.
