I haven’t written in my journal a whole lot, but I’m doing much better on writing like no one’s reading. It seems like whenever I do journal that I always remember that I want to be more honest with myself and it’s good to have that in my head before I start writing.
Looking back on the past few entries is cool because I can see that I’m being more honest about things. A lot of times when I used to look back on old entries, I’d remember that I didn’t really feel exactly the way I’d written I’d been feeling. So, that’s progress.

I have the hardest time doing this in my private journal. I know that I’m the only one that ever reads it but I still can’t bring myself to tell the complete truth in it. I don’t know why, exactly. Part of it is that the truth is sometimes embarrassing or just too depressing. There are just so many times that I wish I’d written down exactly how I felt at the time instead of glossing over my feelings and painting them in broad, vague strokes.
I think I’ll start slowly with this goal. Tell a few of the little things to my journal that I normally wouldn’t confess to and work up to the larger truths.
