did LJ make us emo, or were we emo before we started LJ?
I cannot believe how much information and emotions, among other things I had on here before from about 2005-2010. I made a lot of my old entries private because they reflect who I used to be. It was mostly filled with depressed thoughts and a lot of self loathing. It is crazy how much the words we use affect us. The amount of times I called myself "pathetic" in my old entries was startling. I cannot believe the way I used to talk to myself. Learning self love and compassion have really changed my life.
So I typically journal with pen and paper but I can only ever write a few lines before my head and face go numb (because of the looking down). I am liking doing it digitally better for now.
3 things I am thankful for today: guided meditations on youtube, coffee and being able to journal on here.
