How has writing helped you?
From a very young age I have been writing in a journal I want to say about 10 years old. First it started because my sitter made us practice writing for penmanship purposes (bet y'all haven't seen that word in a minute) 😄 Then I wanted to write so I could use my granddads super nice pens and pencils. (mechanical pencils) Then I started writing when I got in trouble by my mom. I would write the curse words and stuff I really wanted to say out loud. I figured writing it I wouldn't get in trouble. That didn't last too long she eventually read my journals. 😫 But as I got older, writing felt like the best and easier way for me to express myself. I would write my feelings, what my day was like, my crushes, my prayers, and much more. It got to a point where if I didn't write I felt out of place. So, I would like to know from you guys how writing helped you now and then??
