Journalling helped me love my dad when I thought I could never do it. It is essential to calm me and find a way out.

Journaling means a chance to bare my soul, to pull it out, examine it and put pen to paper to record what I see there.

Hâte d’en commencer un nouveau pour de nouvelles aventures. Parce que écrire c’est ranger le bordel que l’on a dans sa tête.

Journaling means searching, inspired, struggling, creating and everything in between—capturing dreams, poems, ideas: the raw material for creativity and personal growth.

It holds trials I have gone through and am able to learn from. Not forgetting who I was and how I’ve grown. It’s soothing.
