So I thought the idea of doing it as an adult was pretty stupid. But I did it anyway. Because I will always at least TRY something before I write it off completely. Journaling wasn’t easy for me in the beginning.

And when I WOULD finally sit down and journal, it would feel terrible. Like I was wasting my time. There were 8,267 other things I’d much rather do then sit down and write about how awesome my dream life is (when in fact my life was average at best). I would often write things like – “This is so stupid.” “I hate journaling.” “This makes no sense.” “I have no idea what I’m supposed to write.” “I hate this.” “I can’t wait until this experiment is over.” And so on and so forth..
