I go through journaling phases. I journaled a lot in high school when I was super depressed. I am so glad that I did. Looking back shows how far I have come. I also journaled through my dating life. That is always entertaining to read back on. It makes me very thankful for the husband I have now. I started journaling again when I decided I wanted a baby and talking to my husband about it. Now, I journal my hopes, desires, and heartbreaks as I grieve and enter a new phase of fertility. It's been so helpful. I also know that when I have screaming little ones one day, I will thank my old self for writing how much I wanted that very life. I look forward to those days as I am in the thick of everything now. 🤍
