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?

	That's very true. I'm not sure about the chapter titles, though. My life has been very ~~Before Will~~ Growing Up In Zephrah and After Zephrah, but I probably need more than two chapters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They'd be pretty long chapters! Maybe those can be the parts of the book, or volumes! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh boy, a whole series? I don't know if I'm interesting enough for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're plenty interesting, Orym! Even just our journeys together could be quite the tale! Filled with heists, balls, and living furniture! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The living furniture deserves it's own chapter at this point, honestly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's pretty good, FCG. I might have to hire you to come up with all my chapter titles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Orym, that defeats the purpose of the exercise! It's meant to be an internal reflection! The only reflection I can do is because I'm shiny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think you're selling yourself short, but I wouldn't expect you to reflect on me, anyway. You should save that for yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I reflected upon myself I might blind someone with the brightness! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what those sunglasses people wear around here are for, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent)
