being messy, honest, and weird

I never kept a journal consistently because writing my thoughts felt like giving anyone access to them, and thus, I felt pressured to write like an eloquent Socratic philosopher just in case anyone DID read it. But now I’m tired and over myself lol. I scribbled this at the beginning of my journal a few months ago and have been writing in it ever since. Strangely, it was a little healing. Whenever the anxiety strikes or I catch myself censoring my thoughts, I come back, read this again, and am reminded that “well, I warned them. 🤷‍♀️” Just wanted to share lol.
