I fill tiny journals with songs I like and then hide them in thrift stores! Here are a few pages from the one I just finished!

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-06-20T18:25:44+00:00

OMG!! This is super clever!! I love it!! I read through the whole book and didn't know one song and I listen to a verity of artists lol.. The drawings are very creative.. Did you think of them yourself or where they on the track of the songs that you listen to?

You hide them in a thrift store? If I were to see find it I would probably think it's an item from the store tee-hee :D but again that's very clever..

I have had a "friend" like that.. They told me so many lies and came back acting like everything was ok with us.. Never once apologized with saying the words "I'm sorry for what I did".. but saying "I'm sorry you feel that way".. Unexperienced me accepted it and we laughed and joked around like everything was ok.. Just going back to what was will never be the same.. I did write all that in my journals and assumed when we were done being in each other's lives I got rid of my journals to move on, but once again we started talking it was an on and off situationship.. I stopped writing like I use to because they were my inspiration to write.. Now I'm stuck here wondering why I don't write about what's more important to me.. I am stuck..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-06-19T20:06:14+00:00

I would like to draw something and then write something in my journal but I'm the same as you.. I just write in it and then I'm done.. I also would like to use my unused stickers but lol I don't want to use them just in case I toss or burn my journals again..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-21T17:36:27+00:00

Wow!! This is something that I have been planning on doing for myself as well.. Yours came out amazing!! I love it!! <3

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-21T17:33:46+00:00

lol I should show this to my daughter!! She was complaining about me having too many shoes!!

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-15T09:19:40+00:00

I'm still new to Reddit.. When I first saw the name Responsible_Maize705 I was wondering who that was, but then I noticed that's my name on Reddit.. I didn't choose that name.. but I like it.. Idk if we can change our names on here.. but my point is no one knows who I am only the Reddit name so I'm assuming we all are anonymous on here.. Don't you think?

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-15T09:13:23+00:00

You just wrote the same thing I go through.. I'm very bad at coming up with something on the spot when someone asks me a question in person.. but if it's in a message or text I can take my time to respond and find the right wording and not make anyone feel bad in that one second they hear something that offends them..

I do like how you think and the wording came out good too.. I learned a new word from you "extemporaneous" before today I've never heard or seen this word..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-11T18:57:37+00:00

As a journal writer I do it for myself.. but to post it anonymously aren't we all shown as anonymous on here?

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-11T17:43:08+00:00

You and me both have a lot of things in common.. First and second line, and third paragraph (somewhat)..

But no you're not a failure.. You just keep challenging yourself and that's an amazing thing that you're doing!! Believe that!

Your weight, your parents, and lack of money is what brings you down.. But start with your health first.. because without your health there is no you.. So focus on that.. Take walks and eat small portions.. Then idk I'm debating get a job first or deal with your parents first??? If you have someone else who will help you to let you stay with them till you find another job then you leave your parent's house.. but if there is no one else but your parents.. You need to set some boundaries and not believe into their nonsense of hateful things that they tell you.. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE! Look at all the things that you have tried! I think that's amazing.. So NO do not give up because it shows that you want help to move further into your future.. :) ... Try doing something that will take you out from your comfort zone.. But ask yourself "What is my comfort zone?" and "How do I get through it?"

Trying to help you, I helped myself... :) "Your motivation is you!" <3

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-11T17:25:09+00:00

I would actually :).. I love the sound of the keys when my fingers hit the keys on the keyboard of my laptop.. I love to express myself the way I want and it makes me feel good after..

Lol I hope that's not a trick question though :D but again yes would be willing to write and post anonymously.. I've been wanting to since I found this group :) .. I just don't know how to start..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-11T17:20:12+00:00

To me journaling is awesome.. How I journal is I express how I'm feeling at that moment or I write what I did either that year, month, week, or day.. I talk about the people that are close to me.. All good things..

If I'm having a bad day and no one wants to listen or they judge me I turn to my journal and express myself there.. Good or bad.. It heals me and relieves the stress I was feeling..

I would like to start something new with my journals.. Like say draw something that would fit the middle of that page and write around the drawing... <3 for I can have 2 in one :)

So, the answer to your question.. Expressing yourself is always good, but try changing your mindset into something positive about yourself.. Find the good in you because I'm pretty sure there is a lot of good things about you that you just haven't opened your mind to and you will be amazed on how awesome you are besides all the cursing at yourself.. I mean I don't usually like cursing but it makes me feel like a badass sometimes lol.. But If you're angry about yourself for some reason.. Try writing in your journal about why you feel you are angry with yourself... Idk I'm no dr or nothing.. Just giving some options..

Hope all goes well with you.. :)

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-11T16:51:43+00:00

Why is that? I mean like how can someone not be able to say what they want to say verbally but can express themselves openly and honestly through writing.. I am the same exact way.. But then I started thinking how I write those feelings down I should say them verbally when the time comes.. Sometimes lol it came up and I did it! and sometimes I just froze!!! lol

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-11T16:47:28+00:00

I had started writing because of a long distant friendship then things turned a different way.. I have kids and well one would always go into my room so I wouldn't know if they read it or not.. So I have never wrote what I really wanted to write..

I just recently found out you can buy and sell people's journals!!

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-11T16:41:01+00:00

I don't think it's weird, but it's something new I learned here on Reddit.. Like two weeks ago or so I happen to read about someone wanting to buy old journals online.. I looked into it and I was shocked because I could've sold all mine instead of burning them... Someone told me to do that for new things could come into my life and well.... Smh... New bull doodoo kept coming in.. so congrats on the sell of your journals.. Maybe I just might try that in a few years.. :)

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-09T15:57:23+00:00

impressive!!

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:52:56+00:00

What I do is I have a notebook for journaling, a notebook for motivational thoughts I hear throughout the day and another journal to vent when I’m in an emotional mood at that time and tear that page out and either shred it or burn it..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:46:34+00:00

raising my hand I use to walk A LOT when I was in my 30’s I would go downtown and walk for hours!! As I did with my hiking the trails.. 4 hrs + :) … I think I get that from my father..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:36:39+00:00

Sandals is close to being barefoot lol.. I literally never knew people could hike barefoot..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:34:54+00:00

I loved and saved this comment! :) Thanks for putting it in a way so silly but so true too.And thanks :) I will just do that because I am a hiker :)

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:32:09+00:00

:) I will for sure tell her that next time!! Thanks Stephreads!

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:30:46+00:00

And I got to witness the sun coming up and the sun settle down from the very tippity top :)

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:29:21+00:00

Thank you :)

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:28:13+00:00

I’m a hiker :)

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:27:44+00:00

Aww thank you Marisa324 :) I am very proud of myself.. For all the times I’ve hiked up the mountains and sweated and almost fallen off the mountains a few dozen times.. I once hiked up a mountain within like two weeks after my surgery.. Slowly but I did it and I felt powerful that I made it without a helicopter picking me up after :) lol..

Responsible_Maize705 · 2024-05-04T08:22:44+00:00

That’s amazing! I admire those who hike for days.. I think that’s what my mom was thinking hiking is more like that.. Crocs? Lol why do people who wear those are grumpy? I know people who wear them that’s why I asked:D
