This resonates big time! I’ve been keeping a notebook/journal for years, and I feel like it has grown into an ecosystem of things, and a “style” of note keeping. I may work up a post on these odd little things I do. Thanks for the opportunity for exploration with this piece!

It’s my pleasure! ☺️ I’ve kept a journal since I was 10 years old, and have loved taking notes for as long as I can remember. I like how you put it… that it’s grown into an “ecosystem”!

Super helpful!! Going through my notes helps me understand more about myself and the negative inner voices I had. With this newfound realization, I am actively working on challenging these voices and continuously improving myself.🙌

I'm crazy about the synchronicity of just completing and posting a Note about what I'm using Notes for here. It's so aligned with this post of yours, Jenn. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

This is so good! I went back through some journal entries and creative writing pieces that I wrote during COVID and realized that I was a much better writer than I gave myself credit for, and as much as I thought that I enjoyed all kinds of writing, writing as a form of self-expression is really where I thrive.

That’s amazing! Great job!

I’m similar in that I prefer to write for self-expression, first and foremost.
