October 2024 journal post

Hey, lovely people, welcome to my Journal. I started this Journal to share my meanderings and thoughts outside social media. I've been thinking about it for a while now. I always kept a diary from a very young age, many of them now discarded. However, I still have some to this day and occasionally flick through the pages, remembering the thoughts, places, people and feelings I was experiencing. It's amazing how we can find patterns in old diaries. I am always writing songs, poems, and stories or reflecting on and thinking about various things. I write because it helps me process my emotions; I write as a creative outlet and to vent. Occasionally, I've found myself venting my spleen on social media, flowing with my emotion in the moment, only to look back and see that I'd often changed my mind or could've found a better way to express my thoughts or feelings. So, I refrain from doing so in that space now. They invariably get lost in the stream on social media because they were written in the moment and not necessarily recorded elsewhere. I wanted my own space where I could share these things for myself and with you.

I will write about the things I am pondering and reflecting on; this Journal will be just that: a journal of my thoughts. Things that inspire me that will inspire and encourage you. You may see yourself in the pages; you may find yourself enraged or torn. I do not know what thoughts my words will elicit, but I hope you will enjoy and engage with what I write in one way or another. There are poems and songs that I may not record with music and I may only ever record with a pen I wanted to share that here, so welcome to my Journal.
