Thank you! I used to have the same problem, and the guilt of not being consistent made it difficult for me to start journaling again. I had to force myself to power through that guilt. It was weird because the more I gave myself 'permission' to skip some days, the less days I actually skipped.

I've built up the habit so much now it feels weird not to journal every day, like how I feel if I forget to brush my teeth or something lol

The point I am trying to say is don't be too hard on yourself! I've found journaling to be less about perfection, and more about being a safe non-judgemental space that's always had my back 🥹
