Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

I use journaling as a way of getting thoughts out of my head. I'm from the generation of letter writing but seems that art is no longer. Now I wish that I had pen pal. I do try and write every day sometimes a list of what I was able to accomplish even with this darn depression and if I can't write that day I just put down " no writing today". Have been doing this for about 10 years but can't muster the courage to go back and read them. Oh well...

@marjou- You can use COnnect as your pen pal!

I've journaled sporadically all my adult life, especially when something troubles me. It does help to straighten out my thoughts. Also I wrote often to a penpal since we were 15. I'm now 71 and my dear friend just passed away. Guess I'll be journaling more regularly now.

Don't worry about courage.
What you wrote earlier
will make you laugh, cry?, & wonder why certain things
were so important at the time. Or you may see how far you have come psychologically, emotionally,.....or not 🙂
Go for it! Good luck.

@marjou I have enjoyed having penpals for the last 63 years. It has been such a pleasure/treasure. I hope you can find a good penpal. I got some of mine from “International Penfriends”.
