Automatic writing and never judge what comes out of your mind and onto your page. Somehow whenever I give myself a read, what I write always makes so much sense.

I love putting my feelings on paper, it helps me to know that they’re real. Plus, I have way too many thoughts, I can’t hold all that in my head. Some things are best left in a notebook than in the body. I have an incredibly warped sense of time, so I sometimes reread journals to remind myself of what has happened in my life. And wow, there’s nothing more powerful than a preteen’s unbridled emotions and Ashley you will pay for what you did in the 5th grade. If I die and someone finds all of my journals please publish them, there’s some good tea in there and I’m not afraid of burning bridges in the afterlife. Get a good pen, find a nice notebook, and put it all down.

Why are u writing? To know urself, to sort through ur thoughts, ideas and feelings? To be a better writer? I think knowing the ‘why’ can point u in a direction for the ‘how’ and ‘what’ to write about.
I handwrite in a journal, black fine liner so I commit to my words and can’t erase. I’m not afraid to rip pages, sometimes I colour and draw in it cuz that’s expression too. I do not censor myself but try to get at what I’m really feeling. As true as true statements as I can make them, trying to be as clear as possible. I do not edit and wont let anybody ever see it - this keeps it sacred and honest. You’ll know when u write out something true and important cuz you’ll feel it. The suggestion to write out the surface happenings to get at the insightful ones is a good one.
Routine is key like building any habit…though I journal whenever I want to cuz I love it, not as something to check off a list. That’s the real reason I’ve been doing it as long as I have and as consistently.
Best of luck to u ❤️

Who even looks straight in the mirror while brushing their teeth. To me it feels like the longest time ever so I recommend just walking around your place and stare at everything repetitively. I see photos of my best friends everyday. I know the placement of each magnets on my fridge by heart. Its guaranteed entertainment.

It feels as if I made it in life as an adult. Not only did I purchase it myself, but I made the decision to buy 2 or 3 tubs of different types and no one even stopped me. When I go into my freezer, I have choices and I made them happen all by myself. 🗣️

Feeling lovelike feelings towards strangers, objects, art, anything really.
It makes you smile and feel all fuzzy but it’s nothing that will change your life.
