we’re really 3 months into 2025 hey?? Feels like it’s been 3 years *at minimum* I’ve gotten back into journalling, writing, letting my thoughts spill out somewhere that’s just for me. It’s been a tad confronting, but so so helpful. It’s a catharsis I really missed. I don’t know why I stopped years ago here’s to feeling feelings and filling up diaries

softshelled it’s felt like the quickest and shortest 3 months of my life honestly. yes! so true, you’re not writing for anyone else you are literally just shitting your brain onto a page. i too, am not sure why i stopped 🙏

diary

somebody else wrote writing fiction but i’d like to add having a diary and consistently writing in it, i’ve always said i can’t have one and it’s overrated, well i take it all back, i understand the hype and i love it so much.

Writing a diary every day for real

and not skipping!!! even super drunk or super tired I have to write my diary and it’s funny to read back because my handwriting is scrawled and all over the page. i have done it consistently for over a year now. it reminds me that the days that memories blur into one mass were actually distinct and lived second by second

Keeping a diary

Having something to go back to, as a living record of your feelings and your time, can be really lovely— when you’re in a season where it feels like many days are bad days, you have a record, written in your hand, of good days. Keeping a diary is a good way to practice being in love with yourself, and being disciplined in an artistic practice, and writing beautifully about your life. If you want to read a diary that I think keeps an excellent log and has interesting things to say about the act of writing a diary, May Sarton’s “House By The Sea” is really beautiful; so is Sylvia Plath’s diary.
