Writing is my friend
Growing up my mom told me that whenever I had thoughts or feelings that troubled me and I couldn't share, I could write them a piece of paper. So I started writing, good things and bad things. And this was freeing in a way I would never expect.
Through the years I stopped writing so often. But life still gets tough and thoughts get overwhelming. So even though I don't hold a pen and this is not paper, I think it will do the job!

Well-written. I fully agree with you, writing has a therapeutic value in various ways through self-reflection, acknowledging thoughts and feelings, letting go of unhelpful thinking, clearing the mind, and others. I find creative writing is an outlet for me to write for pleasure without concern about how it will sound initially. Writing itself may illuminate self-discovery and some useful things that were not known before. At the same time, I feel it is a good use of energy even if I choose not to write often.
Thank you for this post. :)
@CrystalKiwi8717 , Your mom got you started on an amazing habit. Thumbs up to your mom. Writing , keeping a diary, journaling.... they are all so useful and beneficial in helping us self reflect, relieving stress, organising our thoughts and being creative too. So glad to hear how you address writing as a friend.
