I like to journal down my emotions and feelings. Journaling really helps me feel calmer and less overwhelmed :) Reading about my past journals about thoughts and emotions also brings back memories.

I also love to journal down interesting and memorable things that happen in life, just like making time capsules for myself😊

Journals help me get down my full thoughts without any need for censorship. Some of my journals have been read, so now instead I use poetry, but both are great ways and definitely cathartic

Yes, poetry is a great way to describe something that only u will understand. It's like a secret code! 😆

I like to write journals because I can unload my personal thoughts, feelings, and stories in private where I will always be able to remember them! 😇

@Positivepotato2009 I like to journal because I get to be in control of my feelings. I can cry, laugh, sing and panic in private...

Honestly what makes me want to journal the most is to keep tracking how I change and how my mindset changes

I love when I read the journals I wrote years ago and see how different my life was and what were the things that mattered to me and how I dealed with different emotions and problems

It's these little things that make me motivated to journal and to live generally

@Positivepotato2009 My favorite reason for journaling is writing down my thoughts and feelings every week. Writing things down helps get them off of my chest.

I just write down my raw thoughts and feelings so it feels like I've shared something, and feels a bit lighter...

@Positivepotato2009 My journal keeps me sane. Grounds me. It is me and my journal against the world. I am not even joking.
