A huge bucket of family drama was upended on me yesterday and when I sat down to write about it, I got all vague and glossed over it, even though I probably need to get it out somehow. I trust the people in my life not to read my journal but seemed like a risk or even a betrayal of confidence to put the words down.

Do you hold anything back, or is it all laid out bare? How did you get past the internal censor so you could write to clear your head?

    I always hold back in my journal because I want to feel good when I look back through my pages, and not get triggered all over again.

    If I want to vent/let go of negativity, I use sites like http://www.pixelthoughts.co/ and set myself free 😊
