    I’ve been journaling since last year when I was going through a rough time with school and friendships. At first, it felt weird, but now it’s like my safe place. I try to write before bed, and it helps me sleep better. Anyone else journal before sleeping?

    What helped me start journaling was realizing it’s not about being a “good writer” — it’s just about being honest. Some days I write full pages, other days I just scribble words or quotes. Both help.

    I’ve only just started, but I’m already noticing how writing helps with my overthinking. It’s like once it’s out on the page, my brain stops looping the thought. Feels good to share here too 💬.
