...See more I have yet to try one of these, but there's a first for everything, I guess. I typically prefer to journal by hand, so I can scribble my thoughts and reflect on how I felt based off of the penmanship. If the letters are tiny, I must have been feeling insecure at that time. Two feet tall. Unimportant. If it was an undistinguishable mess of chicken scratch, my mind was running too fast for my hands to keep up. Anxious. Possibly panicking. It also always kept the disgusting parts of myself private. Everything I've been ashamed to share. Everything I was gaslit into keeping to myself. It can help sometimes, for sure, but sometimes we need to get these things out. We need reassurance and validation. We need accountability. We need vulnerability and shame. So, here it is. And here I am, sounding absolutely f#cking stupid (not sure if mods want us to censor ourselves or not) and vulnerable. I feel goofy about everything about this, about how it sounds. It sounds like a corny monologue in a sh#tty "woke" Netflix series. But that's something I need to acceptable about myself, I guess. Will update soon. Toucan. 7/11/22. *trigger warnings will vary by entry, I'll include them at the top of each one so they're as accurate as possible
