Growing up in a black household when my mom used to invade my privacy, it could be trauma around writing something down. Had to let myself know this is my home.

journaling only works for me when I do it in voice notes actually. i can just ramble instead of editing myself. and i find real insight by processing things out loud!

Used to journal like it was one day going to get published. Then I realised, highly unlikely. And I’ve found so much freedom in that.
