– JOURNALING IS A WONDERFUL, LIBERATING HABIT.

JOTTING DOWN THOUGHTS, GIVING A SHAPE, A CONCRETE FORM TO THE THOUGHTS.

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK SOMETIME AND GO THROUGH YOUR OWN JOURNAL, IT’S SO NOSTALGIC. SOME GOOD MEMORIES COME BACK FLOODED AND YOU FEEL UPLIFTED.

SOME CHOICE OF WORDS OR STATE OF MIND WHILE JOTTING LEAVES YOU SOMETIMES AMUSED, SOMETIMES SURPRISED AT YOURSELF.

IT IS BETTER TO JOT DOWN GOOD MEMORIES. SOME MILESTONES IN YOUR JOURNEY.

 JOURNALING THUS BECOMES A PART OF YOU, IT REPRESENTS YOU, YOUR INNERMOST THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, AND YOUR TRUE SELF. JOURNALING IS NOT FOR OTHERS OR TO IMPRESS OTHERS. IT IS JUST YOU, BY YOU, FOR YOU.

SOMETIMES IT MAY SERVE AS A MANUSCRIPT FOR YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY OR BIOGRAPHY, TOO. YOU NEVER KNOW!

 IF YOU JOT DOWN NOT-SO-GREAT THINGS JUST TO VENT OUT, IT IS GOOD.  HOWEVER, DESTROY IT AFTER SOME TIME. NO NEED TO BROOD OVER THOSE DRAINING THOUGHTS.

NOWADAYS, YOU DON’T REQUIRE TO CARRY YOUR JOURNAL WITH YOU. YOUR MOBILE SERVES THE PURPOSE. HOWEVER, MAINTAINING A JOURNAL, A HARD COPY IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT FEELING. THE TOUCH OF THE BOOK CONTAINING YOUR THOUGHTS, IN YOUR OWN HANDWRITING, YOUR PART OF YOURSELF IS SOMETHING YOU CHERISH.

HAPPY JOURNALING.
