Looking back, I<br />
have always used<br />
writing to help me<br />
process. To help<br />
me feel. To help<br />
see things inside<br />
of myself<br />
life. I often journal in the mornings<br />
to get out any anxiety I feel about the<br />
day ahead, or any feelings I am still<br />
holding on to from the previous one.<br />
Journaling is like a best friend, or a<br />
mirror. You tell her something, and<br />
she will often respond back. I write<br />
to no one and everyone, and when<br />
I think I don’t have the answer to<br />
something, it will form, like magic,<br />
on the page in front of me.<br />
Journaling has taught me how<br />
to slow down, and how to take<br />
a deep breath. It allows me to<br />
ponder, scream, cry, and shout.<br />
It allows me to be mean and rude,<br />
without hurting anyone, and it’s<br />
taught me that thoughts are often<br />
fleeting, and we should treat them<br />
as such.<br />
For me, journaling is releasing<br />
pent up emotions, recognising<br />
triggers, enhancing self-awareness,<br />
creating space in one’s mind, and<br />
reducing triggers. It can be done<br />
anywhere by anyone, and that’s<br />
what makes it so powerful.<br />
Love<br />
