"Filling up a page with words somehow detangles us from our mental messes and turns into something beautiful? That’s possible. (Your thoughts on this??)"

100%! I've been journaling my whole life. And while it's not necessarily public writing, it's still writing, and man, does it detangle the thought webs in my brain! I honestly don't know how my life would look if I didn't. And sometimes, it turns into some pretty eloquent entries that just give an ahh of relief to my brain. Not only because I detangled it, but I turned it "into something beautiful".

Spot on!

Wonderful! 100% agree with you! I never really got the hang of straight up journaling but I've constantly turned to short stories or poetry to help me detangle "life's realities." It has always given me a different perspective on life! I don't know where I would be without writing 😭 Thank you for sharing!
