I originally wrote this post for Joanny White. Click here to read the original post.
Journaling has been something that I’ve done for a long time. Whether I completely realized what I was doing or why, when I was younger, I’m not completely sure. However, I do know that keeping a somewhat-consistent journal has benefited me immensely as I’ve grown – both physically and spiritually.
So without further adieu, I give you five reasons why I journal.
Sometimes, it’s okay to not be okay.
Because we’re not always okay.
