we officially restarted our journal again yesterday

surprising how much we missed it.

we actually were able to write 3 entries in 1 day

go us.

i started mine over about two weeks ago and it's really been helpful. i'm pushing myself to only write once a day because i used to be obsessive about it and write all the time to the point that i couldn't do anything or go anywhere without writing. i have a sticky note of the things that i want to look into and write about more (stuff relating to emotions, current interests, and parts of my childhood that don't match up with what my mom tells me). it's been super helpful.

i hope it continues to help you, it sounds like you have a great beginning to your journaling.

I tried to journal, but all the different foreign writings is a turn off scary. What is the purpose /benefits of journaling?

to be honest, we think it varies from person to person.

when we started ours, it was because we felt alone and abandoned (we talked to the journal like it was a close friend), and actually it was great having somewhere to vent (and someone who we hoped was listening to us)

more recently, it's to store our creative thoughts, and also to help with our memory (we figure if we forget something, we can just check our journal for the information)

not written in it yet today.

need to do so

The most writing that I've ever done is when I started posting our secret life on this website.

In real life...I just sign our name on checks.

Im glad for you that you got to writin in a journal again. Did you get to writin in it yesterday?

Sometimes i liked to write in notebooks but somebody in my system comes around n throws them away on us. We got no clue who does that to us. Its a mystery. But for sure it helps what with rememberin stuff.

yes we got round to writing in it yesterday, and today too

we had that problem of someone throwing our journals away too, and I'm sorry that also happened to you

we now have a password protected online journal to solve the provblem of it going missing.
