Read an article about someone going into an archive to read donated journals for a journalism project -> oh that's neat -> they're all obsessive journals that ruin the writer's mental health -> :0

#i have journalled on and off for the past decade at least so yknow #i was. yknow #but apparently the pattern is that #the person struggles -> writes down their thoughts about reality -> writing in the journal creates a reality #and if that reality is distorted it will get increasingly distorted and there starts to form a narrative and it can wreck your life #fascinating and strange. to me. someone who never rereads entries ever. lmao #ive used bullet journals to like write down events and things and stick in ephemera like receipts #to be able to page through a journal like that is to be able to look back through time in usually a positive way #and my journal journal is just venting and senseless scribbles #ive thought about what i want to be done with them after my life and like might als well burn them lmao #journal me is grumpy and anxious and annoying and unpleasant!#so that real life me can cope w life and be a normal person.#sort of normal
