How can I keep a journal and make it interesting?

If you have ever seen the movie "Bridge to Terabithia" or other movies like that, there are kids or people who keep journals. They creatively write in them, draw in them and everything. How can I keep up with this? Everytime I try and journal write everynow and then, I get bored and don't do it!
How can I keep a journal and make it interesting?
I haven't kept one in a long time. First, make a certain time everyday where you can write in the journal. If you miss a day or have to re-schedule it, that's ok. A journal is a book of your thoughts. You could write on different topics every day, like politics, art, music, write a poem or short story, tell about something that happened to you that day, write about something you heard in the news and tell your feelings about it, walk in the mall or the park and watch other people and write about them. ... what are they doing, what are they thinking about. Use your imagination. Draw some of the things you see, or things you imagine. Sometimes it's just hard to start writing, but when you get started, sometimes it's hard to stop writing.
