when people used to say “you should journal!” i would be like yeah, yeah whatever. it’s funny looking back on it, because now whenever i get a single thought in my head, i have to write it down. it can be difficult for me to identify my emotions, but seeing bits of my thoughts, written and scattered about, allows me to solve the puzzle piece that is my complex (& crazy) mind. 🪐

writing anything daily, feelings or thoughts, making lists of things to do or future plans, or just a record of how your day went. literally just write ANYTHING. So much happens in my brain on the daily that pushing it out into a physical form on paper makes me feel like i have some control, shows patterns in my behavior, helps me maintain a healthy mindset, and figure out my emotions when they’re confusing

The other day I went to a coffee shop with the intention of reading my book but instead spent about two hours writing in my journal.
I’m not a great journaler. It’s the kind of relationship where I’ll pick it up when I’m going through something, be really consistent for a couple days, and then once I’m feeling lighter I won’t touch it for months.
I’m definitely not in the easiest season of life right now, but im not actively shittingscreamingcryingthrowingup about anything at the moment. For some reason though, despite my mentally “up” state of being, I was desperate to write down everything I’ve been thinking and feeling in the past couple weeks.
I honestly think it’s why the past couple days I haven’t posted anything on this app is because anything I would’ve mused about I already wrote in my journal lol. I even considered just taking a picture of the journal pages and posting them here but that felt too intimate? Maybe?

i’m not consistent and really only journal when i need it or have something i really need to say and have no one to say it to. mine is super stream of consciousness and writing my thoughts down as they occur to me helps me process my emotions and thoughts. i use it a lot when i’m feeling crazy and know i’m being irrational, and it helps a lot with getting the things making me feel that way to stop bothering me.

that’s it. as society strays further from physical connection & closeness, i experience sheer joy simply walking alongside strangers.
it’s easier to feel a sense of belonging when you are shoulder to shoulder, not bumper to bumper.

i miss my childhood bed, i miss waking up to a breakfast i didn’t have to pay for.
i love creating my own space, keeping my secret journal open on my desk, sleeping naked, watching R rated movies on my TV, staying up all night, becoming an adult- whatever that means.
i used to think the freedom of growing up was not worth the responsibility, but i think, for the first time, the scales are starting to tip…:,)
