I’m a pen and paper kind of girl. I love the way writing feels and looks. Typing is cold and feels impersonal. For the majority of this challenge I was copying from my journal to this blog; I think I’m going to rewrite things from here on out.

30-Day Writing Challenge Day 5
So it’s been a while. I’m dealing with quite a bit in my personal life including trying out a new therapist. For those of you that have gone through therapy and had trouble finding The One, you can imagine what I’ve been going through. It’s been a struggle but I’m staying hopeful. I’m thinking about writing about my journey with therapy as a woman of color who has had to deal with anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD and depression.

Today’s prompt was something I recently experienced but hadn’t thought about journaling. It was somewhat difficult to stick to the 10 minute time limit but working within specific parameters is something I want to get better at so this was a great exercise.
30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 1
As someone who used to love to journal, I’ve completely fallen out of love with it. I used to crave the feeling of putting pen to paper. It was the first thing I’d do when I woke up; it gave me a sense of accomplishment to see a notebook full of my thoughts, feelings and ideas. I stopped writing around the time my mother passed away. I couldn’t journal anything I was feeling because it was all too intense for me. I tried a few times but things just haven’t been the same since she passed. But, I’m happy to report, the urge to journal and write has slowly started to come back. Read More
