Rec | JUST GETTING IT OUT

🖊️

Rec'd on 😃 For the journalers/diarists - what is your favorite thing about logging life down?

honestly just having an outlet there’s a lot of things you can’t always go to oeoole for and it’s scary to open up to actual people and seeing what they have to say i blabber on a lot to people irl sometimes and i’m not really consistent in my journallling but just carrying around my journal and being able to pull it out anytime is a very nice option to have it doesn’t even matter what im writing half the time my thoughts don’t make sense but i love journaling and hope it becomes a constant in my life cause that outlet is an amazing one to have

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.’

pen to paper

The other day I went to a coffee shop with the intention of reading my book but instead spent about two hours writing in my journal. I’m not a great journaler. It’s the kind of relationship where I’ll pick it up when I’m going through something, be really consistent for a couple days, and then once I’m feeling lighter I won’t touch it for months. I’m definitely not in the easiest season of life right now, but im not actively shittingscreamingcryingthrowingup about anything at the moment. For some reason though, despite my mentally “up” state of being, I was desperate to write down everything I’ve been thinking and feeling in the past couple weeks. I honestly think it’s why the past couple days I haven’t posted anything on this app is because anything I would’ve mused about I already wrote in my journal lol. I even considered just taking a picture of the journal pages and posting them here but that felt too intimate? Maybe?

journaling

i love my journals. especially now because everything is online it is a great chance to hold something real and write! i keep two- one for photos (a junk journal/scarpbook) and one for just my handwriting. it’s not a diary, there are a lot of personal entries tho. it’s more of a book for my daily thoughts and experience. whatever i need to write down! i study french in there, memorize lines, make to do lists, and doodle too! it takes the stress of the book away and lets me to really use it since there’s no limits! it’s also a great place to keep my stickers and postcards…all the stuff you want to keep and don’t know what to do with!
