Throughout my life I learned to hide aspects of myself that I felt ashamed of or afraid that others wouldn’t understand and I’ve been trying so hard not to do that anymore. It’s definitely beneficial but hard.
genuinely believe journaling has saved my mental health but doing it in public alone is such a better alternative to going on your phone and also if you have a pretty notebook it's a great conversation starter
if you expect everything you make to be a masterpiece you’ll never get started on anything….let yourself make “bad” stuff in order to get to the “good” stuff
