The Freedom of Writing (In a Journal)

Writing is an art. It is creation, a creation of the heart and soul given to the reader. 

Sometimes the point isn’t whether it is good or not, whether someone (even yourself) is going to read it or not. 

Sometimes the point is to write.

When you write in a journal, there is no pressure to get it right, and no expectations of positive feedback and future edits.

It is perfect the way you write it, every time.

This frees you to explore, and often, to come up with ideas and concepts you might otherwise have been closed off to, that you didn’t know you had in you.

Writing in a journal may start with that of the mundane, and turn into that of the extraordinary. 

Don’t try to control it, just write it.
