Sometimes I\u2019ll be journalling about my day, and how I felt about it, but there\u2019s just so much\u2014 I feel like my brain (and maybe yours) will save thoughts that need closure, for you to reflect on the next day. If the thought or feeling was a really buzzy one that you need to get out, journaling makes sure your brain does it. TLDR: do what you can.
