Even if it feels unnatural, I really like to encourage people to try their hand at writing. Could be anything - a journal entry, a fictional story, some jokes. You could carry around a tiny notebook and break it out whenever you come up with a sentence that feels worth remembering. Sometimes I just type random shit I find funny into my notes app and forget about it for five years and I think that counts. Even if you think it sucks now, file it away and hold onto it. It’s nice to have a record of where you were at a certain point of your life, what was on your mind, all in your own words. Once you get into the habit, it’s incredible to look back and see entire little worlds of ideas that would not exist without you being there first.
