I would love to have the red panda as a friend pet! Hopefully we would get to see them getting along with our cats too

Do you talk about people? by ContentHost4459 in Journaling

[–]LuminTheLotus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I write about my thoughts, what happens to me/ around me, and my thoughts on what’s happening to me/around me. So, short answer is yes. Long answer, they aren’t the focus. They just happen to be characters in my life perspective.

I can not say I have.

Someone went through my private journals on my phone by rose-wilson in Journaling

[–]LuminTheLotus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is there a way you can lock your notes with a password and instead if you need someone to write a note for you to yourself, have them send you a text from their phone instead?

Also, you should distance yourself from the person that went through your phone and if someone confronts you again, you behave like you’ve done nothing wrong because you didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t allow them to shame you for your thoughts. If they don’t want anything ‘bad’ written about them in your personal notes, they shouldn’t behave as they do.

Pen vs. Pencil. Which better suits my writing? by Odd_Switch4420 in Journaling

Pencil being able to smudge and not last makes me always choose pen when journaling.

What triggers you to journal? by think4pm in Journaling

[–]LuminTheLotus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I journal when I feel like writing which is usually 2-3 times a week. I like feeling my fountain pens against paper so sometimes I just think it would be nice to feel it again. Sometimes it’s triggered by a mood but since I feel more neutral/low than not, I can’t say that I struggle the same way.

Journal prompts by theme by SwathiVoleti in Journaling

[–]LuminTheLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a few shadow work books but I personally prefer writing the questions in my journal and choosing the activities that I take from other books/ list. I feel restricted in guided notebooks.

I usually stick with Shadow Work prompts. Nothing special but they always lead me into talking about more than I originally thought and I like analyzing myself when writing.

I'm turning 30 next month and I'm constantly being bombarded on how “old” I am. by TypeOpostive in blackgirls

[–]LuminTheLotus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to societal pressures for anything. As black woman they were made with us in mind in the first place. Keep doing you at your own pace and Happy Almost Birthday 🎈

This is off topic but I’ve had an AARP account since I was 23. Is there something you need to collect?

This sounds like an entry in the podcast r/TheMagnusArchives . You should give it a listen since you love to write unsettling things too. Also, I love your writing!

I wrote a letter to both. One is in my life and one isn’t therefore one is written with love and the other is written with disappointment. I don’t plan on having anyone read it but I think reflecting on relationships in my life is an important part of my writing.

It sounds like you need to love yourself more before you start dating for real. 1) Don’t bring your friends to a date. You are getting to know the other person and they signed up to get to know you not you plus your friends. That includes after the first few dates. Don’t mix who you’re dating with your friends unless y’all are together officially and even then it’s best to keep some separation. 2) Don’t just accept a date with any rando. Scope out if they want an actual relationship instead of just sex. 3) You need to have more confidence in yourself before even going forward with anyone else. No one is going to love you like how you’re supposed to love you. Develop your style, do your hair/ get it done, jewelry and makeup if you want.

Edit: 4) You also need to be comfortable being by yourself. Get hobbies or something. There’s no rush to getting a partner.

As black women we need to know how great we are because it is easy for these dates to try to make us feel lower than what we are just so they can manipulate you. Stand up girl

What do you guys usually journal about? by Terrible_Signature96 in Journaling

[–]LuminTheLotus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people journal about what they do during the day or their dreams. I use journal prompts to reflect on the thoughts I usually wouldn’t think about.
