journaling is something i see ppl talk about a lot but no one ever says why its beneficial or how youre supposed to do it

      seems kinda pointless if ur already venting online except that way it can be turned into targeted advertisements which is just a win for everyone if you think about it

        you can also put weird shit in for people to find centuries later but its like the old people version of suibaiting online, they’d put it in a bottle back in the day and float it down the river

      yea especially since growing up everyone in my family would read my diaries -_- maybe the move is just to write it out and then immediately burn it

          i dont know what causes it, either… im fine writing down my feelings in the moment, but reading them back is like… i get so ashamed of myself

    i forget so easily the days i will surely cherish, i don’t want to rely on my faultiest memories, instead i journal to hold onto dearly each passing day

        i fear ill look back at my days and see pillars of salt, but i do like writing itself. also the thought that eventually ill read it with tears in my eyes some 20 years later makes me feel accomplished in my task

          not doing it kind of creates a dark age in your own life… in the future youll get to be like a historian, piecing together events from your own first-hand accounts

    i used to journal when my suffering felt meaningful, now im just permanently depressed and bored and dont find anything significant

      everyone’s suffering has meaning to themselves, i think

    I either shitpost somewhere or just take notes on my phone, sometimes accompanied by a short poem. It’s just some stream of consciousness type of shit I do, nothing planned or well thought out.
