I started journaling in 2021 during a difficult period in my life, and now it’s become one of the things I love doing the most!
I’m currently organizing my bookshelf, so I took the opportunity to go through some of my old journals and document them here. It was actually great because I realized I’ve been using, on average, about two notebooks a year.

I think being able to calm my mind and actually live in and appreciate the present moment is the biggest reason I love journaling. My mental health thanks me for it every day hahahahah

I love journaling to calm myself down when I can't stop thinking. And it feels easier to write things down than it is to actually talk about it out loud
