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.
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.
Generally speaking, I wanna reorganize the way I use the internet. I wanna participate and interact with people. I feel like on Instagram I’ve been worrying too much about the mystique I create for myself, like I’m constantly advertising myself. It feels icky and I’m ready to give it up.
Like maybe where text is cut off there can be a hyperlink that says “see more” or something. I feel like I should just be able to click on a post in its thumbnail form (whatever the term is; its small form?) to see it on your full phone screen.
