Write a journal entry.

“I had zero knowledge of how to write a diary/journal but I gave it a go by filling the first page of the journal with "ABOUT ME" after getting inspired by Pinterest. On the same day, I wrote my first journal entry on the next page. I just used it as a person with whom I would confide all my experiences and thoughts and this person would remember it if I asked. I wrote about my experiences more at first and then I shifted to my feelings, emotions, thoughts, etc., so that transition made me feel comfortable with journaling.”

“At first, my writing didn't “flow” very well. Even though I didn't stop writing to think about what I was going to write next, I did think about it as I wrote. Later on, my writing was very instinctive and my hand just moved, writing down the thoughts that passed through my mind. [...] In writing, I learned hidden motivations, worries and insecurities that I might have played around with earlier but I never faced them directly. Since I had to keep writing, I was forced to confront these things that I had previously evaded. The idea that no one will ever read my journal is what allowed me to keep writing about these subjects. It was actually very liberating to get them off my chest and into writing.”
