I'm seldom one to tell people what they need to do - but I will say that I find writing about stuff sometimes makes it easier.
Lately, I've taken quite a shine to writing again. I normally write, but it all remains private.
Normally if I write something it’s for this place. I probably should keep a journal, I know I probably won’t I’ve tried several times and it requires you to be to coherent my thoughts are generally not coherent most of the time I have or process them into coherent ideas people can understand.
Sometimes, I find the act of writing helps me understand myself better.
They also say that the greatest way to know that you fully understand it is to explain it to someone who knows nothing about it. Writing is rather equivalent to that, or can be used for that.
I keep two personal journals. One is my research journals which, sadly, don't get many entries these days. The other is a personal journal and I've kept it since I was an early teen. I've got hundreds of composition notebooks, all filled with gibberish.
