Writing and journaling are such great ways to create a space for yourself to show up authentically, or in a way we feel safe to be more true to ourselves. In a world where we often say instinctively "I'm fine, and you?" even when we're not - writing and journaling allow us to be real with ourselves which is so significant because we all need the spaces where we can take our mask off and acknowledge "You know what, I'm not fine. I'm struggling today."
Learning and using coping skills and the ways of supporting yourself is so intuitively brilliant especially when you've been facing this battle on your own for as long as you have.
I also appreciate so much that you've been open with me here. Have you been writing lately? If you'd like to share anything here, you're more than welcome to! I love poetry/stories/lyrics... all things art. ☺️
