Been having lots of big emotions lately because of my personal life and my job. Between therapy sessions it’s hard to manage them so I’ve been journaling when I feel overwhelmed and it has been super helpful.
Helps me process, remember, clarify, detangle, be human.
I’m also grateful for the record of my (inner) life that those journals provide. I rarely go back to them and re-read, but maybe someday.
I am taking journalling seriously. It makes me feel cared for, pampered almost. I‘m taking my brain and wringing out all the thoughts onto a slab of paper. It’s also beneficial to the folks around me so they don’t have to put up with as many rants. My thoughts need to be extruded one way or another, and journalling has the added benefit of existing as a document that can be reviewed later.
I have friends all over the place and it’s not enough to just like their shit on social media, it’s good to call every couple of months and just have a life check in.
