been going thru it a bit, i never really liked the medium of journaling into a real book- it never felt honest, i have a lot of anxiety around someone finding it and reading through it so i’d never write honestly.
trying to find an app/computer program that i’d actually just use to journal was annoying, either through managing where to store my entries or just encouraging extra unnecessary bits like using pre generated prompts that i wouldn‘t care about.
after doing research on “small internet” sites/communities, i came across this blogging service (bear blogs). by hooking it into an obscure name and email, it can act as a low barrier way to journal my thoughts anonymously. plus it feels a lot less lonelier than journaling into a book / app, you feel a sense that your thoughts could actually heard but realistically its all enveloped by the void of the internet- to me that’s comforting. its different from a real journal being found, i find it a lot less likely people in my real life would stumble across it.
also i mean, bear blogs is just a great easy to set up solution to just blogging & actually getting thoughts out if you’re interested in that!
