A New Journey

I am trying out a new way to journal today.

I've tried a lot of apps already tbh, but I'll try to see how this does. I still keep a separate physical journal because nothing beats a tangible thing you can keep and check on a whim. Sometimes something's amiss on different apps whether it's a useful feature hidden behind a paywall, or having so much waaaays in formatting text to such extent that it can be pretty overwhelming! This looks promising and simple. Here's to hoping I'll remember to check in here.

While the year is ending, the doors of 2024 is coming to a close, it's insane that while this year might've been the worst for me in terms of circumstances, it's the most that I've been me in the past years. I've been able to confront my past bit by bit and was able to bring the little things I appreciate that once uplifted me into the present. The past has poisoned me, and my body has been having these awful allergic reactions from the slightest remembrance of it. And honestly, the only antidote to it is through. It has been hard but it has gotten slightly better, thankfully.

For this year, I've been tending to the memories of the past whether they are "good" or "bad." No matter it was, I'm certain that acknowledging and taking care of this garden of memories for sometime would eventually bear fruit; whether sweet, sour or even bitter. Or maybe they could sprout beautiful and unique flowers. Through these, I would be able to select which memories do I want to plant more of. And I am looking forward to the new beginnings I would've yet to encounter, and excitedly brace for the doors opening up for me.
