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?

	Mm. I see. That is an interesting way to describe a person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Other things besides people can have souls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is most likely accurate, I'm sure. I hadn't put too much thought in just who does and doesn't have a soul, though I feel as though I ought to have before now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I think most living things do! With sentience and thoughts and feelings. Isn't that sort of what makes up a soul, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent)
