I used to write down song lyrics, for instance, when I was a teenager. And those songs that I wrote down, I can still tell you all of the words to this day. So, I mean, those are just two of the reasons, but also another reason is it probably made you feel better at the time.

Ah, that's an interesting question. In terms of emotional writing, this is interesting. People were writing about their own emotional states in letters for centuries before they were doing it in diaries. So it's quite normal now. It's considered quite normal to write a diary about how your day went, how you feel about things. Like I said, how you feel about...

situations people events they make you feel happy or sad and you write about it and that's a very normal thing to do in the medieval era in the renaissance era it really wasn't but they would very happily write very personal letters to their friends and family telling with all of that same stuff in it how they felt about everything so i think the letter came first in that sense

And there is a lot of research on this. I think there is something like more than 1,200 studies, and they all confirm the same basic result, which is writing stuff down about your emotions makes you physically healthier. So the first study was done by a professor called James Pennebaker.

and he's an American, and he got some of his students to just keep a short journal detailing an emotional trauma that they had experienced in their life, which he didn't have to specify what it was. It was just anything which they considered traumatic. So it might have been a bereavement or an assault or something bad which had happened to them. They wrote it down.

They didn't do anything with it subsequently. And then for the following semester, visits to the doctor in that cohort of students went down by 50%. They were so much less stressed. They were carrying around so much less bad stuff in their heads that their bodies were literally...
