I think yes and growth…we are told to be ourselves, be honest, and then when we do, if it falls into a void, what we have to say fails to make a difference to anyone but us so what makes it different from journaling? You might have “a chance” at your journal becoming more public but if you take the chance on yourself, and it doesn’t, it doesn’t make it worth it because you still ended up doing it only for you when you wanted to share it. Some things are meant to be just for you and that makes it special and intimate. Other things are meant to be shared with others to invite people in. If nobody shows up, that isn’t motivating.

I’ve become a lot more confident in myself ever since posting me just talking to the camera and it really feels very freeing

Great piece by the way. I want to say that I use social media as a journaling tool so I have this burner account that I don't let anyone from my real life in. I put the stuff that I would put in a journal because journaling is a bit time-consuming. Maybe I'm being lazy but yeah definitely for self-therapy as well

I’ve been posting more to “take up space”, I’ve been breaking out of my “people-pleasing” habits and I used to shrink away from posting. Life is too short to

this is definitely true, video journaling is so fun for me because it's in between live writing and acting.

I love cooking, so I post cooking videos. I see a lot of my dinner inspiration on here, so I hope that I give a passing viewer a dinner idea too! I have to cook either way, may as well film it!

YES. started my booktok 2 yrs ago to talk to myself about books. It’s still what I’m doing and I love it even if I don’t post that often. Being vulnerable and trying online is good self development

I need to stop caring so much and just post like I did when social media was new. I’m AuDHD and being seen is so hard for me. I hate it. But I need it.

Not even over 5k and developing my audience and allowing for witnessing with this small niche has been everything on my journey. I made life long friends. Authenticity is so eye opening.

I was a YouTuber for a while back in 2010 and I became terrified of being seen and being perceived. I wasted my 20s being hidden. I’m not hiding anymore.
