Smiley day to y'all! I thought it'd be nice to talk about journaling! In times when the days seem to blend together, journaling helps you soul-touched separate one from the next, and also helps clear distressing thoughts invading your heads and dreams (I'm mighty curious about dreaming as I myself do not dream). It may not always feel pleasant, but disclosing emotions rather than stuffing them down is ultimately much more healthy! Some may have some secret pain or stressor that they cannot share with others, but seeing that translated into the written word that exists outside of your mind and heart can help make sense of it all!

Journaling also allows one to put experiences in sequential order, to examine cause and effect, and gain distance from events and situations. A stitch in time heals all wounds, and I'm sure y'all will make a beautiful tapestry!

Here's a good prompt in case you'd like to try it, and we can all be vulnerable with each other: In the book of your life, what would your chapters be called?

	It's never too late to start something new, Dorian! A watched clock never boils! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure that's the right saying, FCG. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you ever boiled a clock? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mediumspoon 2022-05-11 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	Well, no, I haven't. Have you? ~~Is that like boiling y~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	Nope! So I just have to assume! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mediumspoon 2022-05-11 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose so! Do you intend on journaling too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	I don't really know that I have feelings. Not like you all do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mediumspoon 2022-05-11 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	But is that not sort of what you're asking us to do? Talk about our feelings in a journal so that we can disclose them somewhere? Even if you don't think you do, you could find out by writing it down, right? I do think you have feelings, FCG. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Well, but I'm not alive, Dorian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mediumspoon 2022-05-11 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think that means you don't have feelings? What makes someone alive anyway? That might be a rhetorical question, and you don't have to answer, but you have thoughts and opinions. Those are feelings, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	I believe I'm--different--than other automatons, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mediumspoon 2022-05-11 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	All right then. And how does that make you feel? You don't have to tell me, of course, but it could be something you write down in your journal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	That's a very good example of something someone could journal, Dorian, thank you for that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mediumspoon 2022-05-11 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	~~And you. I meant you, FCG!~~ You're welcome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad we can have these talks! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mediumspoon 2022-05-11 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad too, FCG. Are you sure there's nothing else you might like to talk about but can't with me or anyone else? We just want to make sure you're feeling heard! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-12 12:06 am UTC (link)
	If there was something I wanted to talk about, I'd try to talk to you all! Wouldn't you? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	weirdsoup 2022-05-11 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	I'm trying to journal, FCG, but I just don't think I get it. It's not supposed to be blank, right? Could you write a journal entry so that I can see what it's supposed to look like from your perspective? That would really help me out a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh Fearne, I believe in you! You are such a unique individual, there's no way I could ever write anything that would exemplify your special view of the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weirdsoup 2022-05-11 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, no, I don't want you to write from my perspective, I want to see an example of how you would do it. You know, as an example. But that's okay! I don't have to journal! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-12 12:12 am UTC (link)
	Well, maybe we could sit down together and work through it! (Reply to this) (Parent)
