I've used social media as a journal. I put most of my innermost feelings there as an ongoing conversation with myself but also so those close to me have access to what I don't show otherwise
in my mind it's like handing someone a manual and I very much enjoy having access to other people's manuals. it makes it easier to navigate those relationships and people who don't post to vents feel like black boxes
I don't know if this is all good or bad but, as I try to navigate away from "vent posting" with an actual journal, it's been on my mind a lot
I hope to turn the journals into an actual manual that can live online for therapists, partners and close friends. I like the idea of it changing as I change and address the problems it lays bare. I imagine those close to me accessing it and illuminating things I can't see on the road to a better me
