Here is my opinion on the big thing in life: journaling.
Journaling is something that so many people do, but at the same time, so many people don't. I am one of those who do, and I am here to tell you that it is the best thing that has happened to me in life. It really flips your perspective of other people, things, and opinions. You become more open and notice little things you would have never seen before. You see those things, and you write them down. You remember them. You treasure them. They help you grow, and you realize how much better life is, now that you see it with new eyes.
When I journal, I reflect on things that sparked my imagination or my mind. Stuff that made me think. Sometimes that stuff make me mad, and sometimes it it makes me excited. Take last night for example: I found my second grade memories book. it was funny reading all the words I misspelled and thoughts I thought. I also saw pictures of kids in my second grade class who were up in front of everyone else, singing "Happy Birthday," or writing about how they remembered that I loved bunnies and "fuzzies." We were all friends. Those kids I saw grew up, and many of them, in seventh grade, began to hate. They talked about how "I hate so-and-so, she is so ugly! Oh my God! You are so right!" BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! ACK!!!! I wrote down these feelings I had, and I scribbled all over the page, wrote really big, when I became angry. I am proud to have the "kind, considerate, and happy" label. Why is there even such a thing as the "mean" label!!
Anyway, I am getting very off topic. JOURNAL. Release your anger on the page, and preserve your happiness on the page. It's a mood swinging sort of writing. And it is all YOURS.
