Obviously, I was a not, I was not a seasoned writer, but let's shout out Mr. Stro, my first grade teacher, who encouraged all of us to journal, to kind of exercise all of our writing skills so that we could become strong writers. And because it's a hobby that I never gave up. I have definitely had pockets or bases in my life where I haven't been as consistent in my journal. But I have this one from the time I was six

That's dope that? You're able to still have your old writings? I didn't really journal as much. Funny enough, I would record like, audio off myself when I was younger. But it wasn't for journaling purposes. I was more making sketches and s***. I do have some old writings, like old raps of mine. It's funny to see where my mind was at at that time

Do this all the time. And I still feel that way. I still feel that way. I still get excited when I get a new journal. I still get excited when I get a blank piece of paper. So yep, thanks for responding

I was like, I started reading it and I even see exercises in here that I've done, like on the books of Law of Attraction and stuff like that. I'm sorry, I'm still slipping through it okay. I can't find it. But anyway, it was about Christmas time, and her daughter wanted something specific. So in my mind, let's just go to the store and get that. And now when I look back on it, hindsight is 2020

And then as a result of that, you kind of always feel like you don't have a safe space for people to take those emotions seriously. But they matter. They do. You matter. You do, and your feelings matter. It's really hard sometimes for people to reconcile their mind around being selfish and how that can be a good thing
