(day 2 of healing journal) NAME THE FEELING Daily Intention: “Stop calling everything fine” (if it’s not) SOUNDTRACK: River Of Lies, my most emotionally honest song so far. SIDENOTE: River Of Lies reveals the deepest truth about my story. It’s about lies told on me, which were lies at the time they were told. Then later, I walked out the lies and made them true, either all or in part. However, the thought of me owning up to any part of it publicly runs the risk of looking guilty of all of the parts, even the parts that were never true, so I remain silent on all of it. DAILY ACTION Write down every emotion felt this week: Not situations. Not stories. Emotions. For me, the week of June 21 – June 27, 2026: “grateful” “Cynical” “Lonely.” “Scared.” “worried” “peaceful” “Hopeful.” “drained” “aloof” “intolerant” “accomplished” “Motivated.” “Excited” “happy” “Unfulfilled.” “Depressed” "Enlightened" AFFIRMATION “My feelings deserve names.” RESOLUTION: I name gullibility and resolve to hold my ground and not let anyone’s negative words take root in me. Instead of just ignoring the words, thinking they’d have no effect over me, realizing I was wrong. I’ll rebuke immediately to insure that other people’s prophecies over me never come true and to only absorb what “thus says the Lord” about me.
