Lovely post! I'm so sorry for the grief, chronic illness can be so, so hard. But writing through it certainly helps a little. I often think of how our journals hold so much weight, it's actually amazing to think about how pen and paper can heal so much.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply to my post. Writing has continued to be my saviour over and over again, and I'm so grateful that I found it again (or it found me!).

Gosh yes, our journals hold so much in them. So many moments and emotions and baggage that gets dragged along with us. I'm constantly in awe of how healing and powerful words on a page can be.
