Freedom Journal

Of course, one reason for journaling is simply for the love of doing it. You may take sensual pleasure in the velvety looping of ink across the creamy surface of a page, or in the private time with your thoughts at the end of a hectic day. You may find it comforting or therapeutic to pour out your emotions in writing. And the other side of journaling is reading. You can always go back to old journals and find windows into your past as a coping mechanism to help recover from a traumatic experience.
