She let the light shine through her.

She reached her hands into the sky and dreamed she could fly out of the darkness forever.

The funny thing is that the darkness never left, she only thought differently about her life.

Instead of looking down, she looked up. Up into a beautiful blue background.

I wrote this piece on October 15, 2013. I have always  journaled about my personal life and things I have gone through.  I believe it’s super important to keep a journal about your adventures.  If you don’t have one, go ahead and start now.

You might think that you don’t have anything to write about but in reality it adds up over time.

If you don’t have time to write, that is okay, you have a tech journal at your fingertips.  Go ahead and open up your notes section on your phone,  use the “voice to text” command on your keyboard. Text or speak about what you are feeling. What’s going in your head? What did you do today? What did you find beautiful about the day? Did you day dream? Did you watch the clouds? Did you argue with someone? Was today the best day of your life or did you have a rain cloud above your head? Whatever your thoughts are, just write.

Voilà, you have your first journal entry.
