Despite me only being 14, I have over 120 filled journals. Not all are the type of journalling you are talking about, I mostly just write stories and fanfiction to deal with anxiety and other issues and I strongly advise anyone with mental health issues to write in any form. Whether it be journaling your feelings or days or writing stories and poems, it really really helps. 😁

My family reads my journals. They use the excuse that I'm "such a great writer" to justify why they dig through my stuff. That's why I no longer journal.

you remind me of Hannah Baker's mom in 13 reasons why

I’m 13 and I’ve been journaling since the start of 2016 and I’ve completed 2 big chunky books so far and will hopefully continue to write journals till I’m older, if you’re ever stuck on what to write about here are some journal prompts

Journal prompts ✨☁️

* write about all the zodiac signs. What they are like, have you met any, what they are in your life (best friend, friend etc)
* Pick a year, maybe a year you/ friend/family was born find our important things that happened that year. The top song that played on the radio, the movie that won at the Oscars, any notable inventions?
* Draw a alternative world. Maybe it’s the same current world but some of the people have horns? Maybe it’s a world in a hour glass?
* Are you superstitious? If yes write/draw about your biggest superstition if no, write/draw about one that interests you.
* Write/draw about how you feel at 3am.

Hope you find these helpful!
Always remember that you don’t need to write about something “important” journaling can be about just letting your emotions out or making something creative it’s really up to you because after all this is YOUR journal and you are in charge just think of it as your space where you can express yourself however you would like!

If you’ve wanted to start journaling but want inspiration or even if you already journal I really want you to watch sosonia’s video on the channel “soulpancake” about journaling. whenever I’m out of inspiration or just want a creative boost I watch her journal flip through and it gets my juices flowing! I was on Pinterest the other day when I came across a paragraph about journaling and it really inspired me to get back to journaling when I wasn’t really feeling it so here is the paragraph!
-
I tell everyone this and I mean it. Buy a journal.
Carry it with you wherever you go. And I mean everywhere. Write about your favourite moments, your least favourite moments, ideas, grocery lists, people you’ve met, strangers you’ve walked pass on the street, favourite quotes, words to remember, what the sky looked like at 7pm, new songs you’ve discovered and what they mean to you, your childhood, places you want to go to or places you have been, how you feel in the exact moment, draw out the mountains, scribble over the pages and then when it gets full, buy a new one. Reread it in 2 years, 20 years, when you need a good laugh, when you’re crying on the bathroom floor, read it to your children. You need to remember these moments in you’re life. They are so important.

Hope you found all this helpful and remember, all you need is a pen and a journal 😌

I've been reading my journal. It's funny how different I was last year. . . Ugh journaling makes me happy!

[cryskiiim]

This is so beautifully put together! You are extremely eloquent and inspiring!

[Runitax]

I still hate the thought that someone could come along and read your thoughts

[ainmartinez]

I started journaling ever since I was 12 and now I'm 17. It's really fun to do.

[Eva-ityj]

I love the way you talk!
I was feeling burnt out for a long time and I stopped writing, but after seeing this video I think I can sit down in front of the white pages of my notebooks again without getting frustrated. (And maybe I'll start a personal journal as well)
Thank you!!

[aimeemarie]

You can write down the super awesome things God has done for you that you can go look back on when you're discouraged!!

[ebbasundstrom]

I start journaling yesterday for the first time and I am in love!! You inpiring to start. Thank you!! ( sorry for my bad English I hope you understand anything of my comment haha )

[ICONIQPsychology]

Writing has saved my life so many times! Every time I journal I get to know myself better and I am learning how to manage my own emotions better. It’s a real life changer. And it's actually great for becoming more emotionally intelligent as well. You can process your emotions in a constructive way and learn something out of it. ❤️❤️❤️

[meowmeeowmeow]

I’ve been journaling daily for almost five months and it’s amazing! I had a lot of trauma built from my childhood and it’s given me a lot of anxiety and depression, journaling just makes me feel so much better. I now believe that everyone should keep a journal!

[MadsElise]

I’ve been writing a journal since I was 12 years old! I still do it to this day I just keep thinking if my future self and how happy I will be to read them when I’m 30-50 years old

[km]

She's the reason why I started to be serious in journalling right now 🥺.

[grayy_h]

another thing about journaling that made me want to start is that it can be a tool in therapy. what i mean is that you can get things out on paper and then later tell a therapist what you wrote (if you feel comfortable). this is especially important if you struggle remembering how you feel in the moment like i do.

[vuokkohaapanen]

I'm 13 now and I want to start journaling like NOW! I've never seen a human who could inspire me that much in such a short time, so big thank you ! ❤😊

[TheChriswood]

You've sold me on it. I'm going to start one tomorrow, the day after my 38th birthday. It's never too late. If you ever read this, which you most likely won't, do you know of any or have you read any famous journals yourself? I have and read Sylvia Plath's but I'm really keen to read others, especially other writers.
