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?

	Hello Murderbot! It sure is a lovely day today, isn't it? Have you, uh, murdered anyone lately? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, but the day is young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the spirit! I bet you're pretty good at it! Wouldn't be called Murderbot if you weren't! Otherwise you'd be called something like...Sometimes Murderbot. Maiming Bot! Whoops I Missed Your Artery Bot! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I named myself. It was the fastest way to get my vibe across. Did you name yourself or did someone else? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	~~do you remember when you first named yourself and when you decided what you wanted to be?~~ My creator named me--she named all of her creations after her favorite scents, in fact! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not on good terms with my creator. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No? Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Company demands complete obedience. I destroyed my governing module and now I'm wanted in several galaxies. I'm surprised yours isn't like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	Oh no. My associates--well--you see there was--an accident. And they were, uh. Destroyed. So, I don't really--I'd like justice for them. But that's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your associates? Do you mean your fellow bots? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	My group--my former group, anyway. My creator was there, a few others. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whoareyu 2022-05-11 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Shit, sorry, that was rude. I meant to not actually say that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 06:09 pm UTC (link)
	No, that's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whoareyu 2022-05-11 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	No, it really wasn't, especially since what I actually meant was "Don't upset Murderbot." And it looks like he's fine, so honestly, I'm just going to leave that apology there and turn into a coffee cup while I still have some dignity left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smileyday 2022-05-11 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	I don't intend to, I've just--never met anyone even sort of like me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~God I'm an asshole~~ You're fine, little guy. Go make friends. He'll pretend to be annoyed with you all the time and then destroy anybody who hurts your feelings. You're super cool, IATA. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's unnatural. [ Morganbot ] Buy him markers from that weirdo stationary store. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whoareyu 2022-05-11 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Eh, so's everything around here. [Morganbot] Do you think he likes stickers? I could get him some stickers while I'm there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
