It is! The most important part of journaling, to me, is making ugly stuff. I like to intentionally make my journal ugly from the start to eliminate that fear of messing stuff up. Then I start making stuff that I love, and even if it turns out ugly I can still be happy in the fact that I made something and enjoyed doing it

Journaling made me angrier at the people and things I was already angry at. I feel more at terms with my feelings but I don’t think it helped. Maybe I did it wrong? Seeing how I felt on paper made me freak out. Had a panic attack writing about my mom and how she treated me being her only kid and now i feel like Ive unintentionally mean and impatient with her ever since i did a week of writing about our relationship, A YEAR AGO.

No such thing as being bad at it which is one of the reasons I love it! It’s entirely up to you how you do it and when. Sometimes it’s just nice to reflect on your days and look back on them

I use one journal for everything that I write down, so it has venting and class notes and recipes and whatnot. Everything. My whole year goes into that journal, and I love having my little decorative spreads throughout it. It feels good :)
