Please never stop writing articles. The way you have written is so well thought out, no doubt you have been journaling for ages. I was randomly reading the first few lines, then straightened up, called my sister to read them out loud. Then we read the whole thing together out loud. I do write sometimes but this article is soo good, that I can't wait to start writing regularly.

10/10, I dislike 99% of what’s out in the world about writing in a journal. You get it, the mess is the point

Beautifully expressed. Chronic notebook carrier. Enjoyed this motivation to actually write the thought down.
