Rating: 3 out of 5

A basic but easy to read guide to journaling. What it is, what the options are, when to to it? Nothing prescriptive. Just different ideas. Also has some prompts in there to work through. It didn’t take a long time to read and is probably worth that short time if you’re starting off, out thinking about starting, journaling

Highlighted passages:

A book is simply the container of an idea – Like a bottle, what is inside the book is what matters. – Angela Carter

We are often trained by society to squelch down emotions. Men are taught not to cry. Women are taught to grin and bear it. All of those emotions don’t go away. They fester until they are finally let out and allowed to cleanse.
