JOURNAL

Keeping a notebook

I've kept a diary for as long as I can remember. I remember adding passcodes at the beginning of the diaries, nothing fancy just a drawing. I picked up journaling again last year and I haven't stopped ever since. It has changed me in ways I can't yet name. I'm not sure if my writing has gotten better or not but my thinking feels less messy. I'm on my fifth journal now and this one has taken me a long time to fill. Nonetheless, I owe a lot of who I am to my journals that allow me to express myself no matter how the situation feesl. Now, I am building this section to practice having opinions in public. To know what I sound like without having to think about someone else. To change my views in public and not be afraid to do so. Another purpose this place serves is a way to capture my life a bit better. A small corner for my thoughts and all the oddities of life. I can't be certain of what would become of this page, of this website but it has made me excited as I wake up every morning with ideas. Writing has showed me what I am capable of expressing, feeling and thinking. I wish to continue not just writing in my physical notebook but to share some of my writings and learnings here.
