I‘m terrible at it but when I remember to do it its magical. have a friend who has obsessively journaled for the last 10 years and it’s like a library of our lives and I ENVY IT SO.

hello angel, i am a passionate journaler. here's what i do & what i rec to everyone interested in journaling. find the perfect journal and perfect pen for you, buy them over and over and over again when they run out because that is how you maintain friendship and trust with your journal. write lists (of anything), write song lyrics and poems, copy excerpts from a book. play detective and write simple observations. investigate. take note of where you are, when you are, what the weather is like, what you're wearing, and the wishes that are caught in your heart that day. play pretend. vent, then burn the page if it makes you feel better. reflect on what you're currently into- the show, the song, the mug, the sweater, the perfume. write who and what you are grieving, celebrating, changing, releasing. journal simply, poetically, angrily, scientifically....write letters to people who will never read them. make diagrams. have designated doodle time. your journal, and the way you journal, is for you and no one else

I've been journaling on the Obsidian app. I also write poetry, take tarot reading notes, and write down notes on videos I watched and it shows you how entries are interconnected based on tags and topics. I love seeing all the synchronicities!

@PRELIMINARY_YELLOW_YAK This is what i do too, i'm going to go back to pen and paper daily journaling though. I'm scared that if my computer breaks, i've lost my life story

@PRELIMINARY_YELLOW_YAK good luck, i bet there are loads. I might just double journal. I used to pen and paper, but obsidians links are a game changer. Maybe i do both

Journaling

I journal nearly every day and it has changed my life. I feel like I know myself much more deeply and remember things better because of it. Sometimes I write many pages and other times just a few sentences. I like how it can be as silly or serious as I want and I like how it’s only for me.

Journaling my heart out

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.’

Journalling

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.
