I have had a hiatus of sorts from journaling, not planned, but more rather organic, you could say. It has helped me not take journaling and written words granted at all. In a time of great tech and everything right at your fingertips, I feel the written word is still worth something. It means something, words are not empty vessels, they are more measured than that, often used throwaway or to hurt .

So I am back little steps at a time, and even collaging again to, simple enjoyable moments and hobbies bring me such joy and peace at the moment.  In the mess of the world and life happening around me, I  need these moments and things to ground me. I have felt somewhat ungrounded lately, unseen,and unappreciated.

At the moment, stepping back helps me refocus myself and steady myself more. I have also been spending time doing what fills my cup and what brings me joy. I am putting up boundaries and saying a lot more of my teenage self words. Because everyone needs a little genx in their life.

I have been gathering stuff from outing to Freo and other little pieces to add in my journal,  little memories that mean the world to me, and my future self. I like pages of outings where I go into Freo and hang out in a coffee shop or by Bather’s Beach. These mean more to me than material objects,  my journals filled with my very own stories.

As I  write this, I am at a busy shopping centre,  enjoying some time with the family.  So why not write a blog post, I can not see why not . Can you ?

Journaling is my way to express myself and my world right now. Because it changes so quickly otherwise.
