Sometimes all I want to do is have someone listen to me talk about it. It’s not realistic though and it’s annoying. When I write in my diary and I read it back over it feels like someone is listening

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?

Heavy thoughts and emotions have the habit of coming up whenever I am getting ready to sleep. I find that writing them down in my diary helps clearing up my mental space and I usually feel relieved afterwards. I try to keep my diary or any journal by my bed at all times, but whenever I don‘t have anything to physically write down my thoughts I just use my notes app. Writing obviously isn‘t the same as talking to someone, but sometimes it feels like confiding in a friend.

I’ve had a diary/journal ever since I was in 2nd grade (shoutouts to Amelia’s Notebook for sparking something in me). My journal is one of my most prized possessions. It’s my confidante, my source of inspiration, my friend.
Journaling has always allowed me to unapologetically express myself. I’ve learned to embrace my voice through writing. I love when I read back on past journal entries and be like, ‘Damn I wrote this?! This is poetry.’

My pipes are so cold that all my water is pre chilled. Pour it into a glass, drink about half of it, refill to the top, walk away... nuff said. #GulpNation

You can learn so much about what’s going on when you’re not there. It’s fun to speculate about what made them. The snow is good for keeping records of things

Especially if it has the little black specs in it when it’s “vanilla bean”
