Journaling

Im at that stage of life where doctors recommend journaling to reduce stress. I wonder how it works? Do you spill every single thing on paper? Do I keep every such thing public? Does it benefit me more if there’s an audience?

(Btw I do not like that WordPress has forced me to use the Jetpack app. )

I woke up due to acidity. For past 25 years I have and would like to have dinner at 6, sleep by 10 and wake up 4 ish. However ever since moving home with parents it has been difficult. Mom will act surprised when I tell her repeatedly that I like to eat early. Anyways a late dinner and here I am 4 hours later awake in the middle of the night. Had 2 teaspoons of antacid (which was luckily lying in the dining room cabinet) for the very first time in my life and I’m feeling much better. Before that I was feeling like my whole thoracic cavity will explode. (This journaling business is also helping actually).

Yesterday, after my supernova meltdown, my son said to mom “Dad doesn’t look happy. Why can’t I see him smile.” I felt really sad hearing that from a little boy. No child should be subject to this. So I’ll be thinking more about that here. Later.

I think another of my blog friends has passed away. There’s no other explanation for his silence. I have been expecting this for long now so I was not really surprised when the first thing I checked after logging in was his blog. There’s been no new post. I hope he’s found happiness wherever he is now – in this world or next.
