In all seriousness, yes.

For me, my most valuable journaling has been stream-of-conscious thoughts as they come in. Good. Bad. Whatever. It all gets written down. This ain’t archival biography writing. In fact, it’s super liberating to throw out old journals sometimes. They’re all just thoughts.

Journaling has been the single most valuable tool in my mental health journey. It’s baffling how bad a day can be when I haven’t had my morning brain dump.
