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 started writing down my dreams first thing in the morning and I remember them so much more clearly now. Sometimes when I read it back, it feels like I can’t recall any of it but then i get a flash of recognition of a moments or setting, like little pieces of a film coming back to me.
I tr to also do a regular journal but am not as consistent, it’s in the same notebook but a different color pen. I’ve found it very helpful to write when I’m anxious, avoidant , or just struggling to turn my brain off.

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. 🪐

can be old fashioned written thoughts, audio, visual, or just free loose ideas. Everybody needs a diary that’s not the internet. Good to bounce yourself off of yourself when u feel lost. Sometimes the best way to find the solution is to talk with yourself at any moment. Past and Present. A diary connects it all.

I know, I know. I’m late to the party. It took me at least five attempts to watch this movie and I finally get it. This might be one of the most romantic things I have ever seen, I fear. So much tension, so many emotions and there isn‘t even a single kiss in this movie. Sorry to my younger self but you were wrong, this is absolutely beautiful and not overrated
