Reason I'm asking is that SubhanAllah I know so many people, both brothers and sisters who are in either a state of depression or just feel lonely etc I want to know if anybody keeps a journal and how it helps them.
I mean sometimes we need somebody to talk to, somebody to advise us, keep us company and talk back. But other times, we just need to be heard...No advice or feedback, just heard. And I guess thats where a journal would come in, somewhere to keep a record of your ideas and feelings. But more than that, something that will take in all that you say without any interruptions or a need for trust etc
Hmm...Just thinking. Oh and just for the record, I dont keep a one
i kept a diary dont anymore. it never helped me lol.
and when i used to go back and see what i wrote. i used to laugh at myself :zip
but now if am sad i just go and draw somethin like flowers or buildings and it helps lol
Three simple rules in life:
1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
i used to have one untill my sis in law read it nd it had my most personall thought,after that its just put me off but in the future i think i would like to maybe then im gna make it a famil heirloom lol haha
ok well im normal, i think...see cool peopel in the states keep there feelings and dont let nobody, not even a loser BOOK know whats goin on, so u juss keep everything inside ya. tis easy. especially since nothing is gonna change if u write it neways soo...
when im sad or something jus go play sports or something...
better than talkiing to a book. hehehe
its like "dear booky, today im sad because my pizza got burnt,....dear booky, after my pizza got burnt, i threw it away...dear booky, after i threw it away...i cried...now im sad,...and talking to a book,...that ignores me"
i mean cmon, why talk n talk n talk n talk n talk about ur life bio to a BOOK. when u can keep it in ur heart n brain. you do know the book is like men, it doesnt lissen
I had a dairy...used to write down things people wouldn't just understand...when i read it all now, makes me realize how i have changed as a person, the way i used to think... :smile: those times!
Well I had a combined journal or scrapbook with my friends when i was in the states..my friend used to write a journal but i didn't but after i saw her writing and the things she used to do..i thought it was cool..lolz..MY friends have the scrapbook but because of their siblings it's probably all drawn over..sheesh i would take better care of it lolz..anyways I had another journal which was like a picture journal..i still have it..it's pics of me and my friends and all the stuff since i was in the states and canada but when i came here i didnt post much..I will as soon as i get time ehehe..I stopped writing in my diary but I have a book of rhymes and a blog now so that makes up for it hehe..
I think journals are cool in there own way..I even have letters and stuff that my friends and I used to write to each other in class hahaha..when i read them I start to laugh soo hardd coz it's the randomest things
“The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs is afflicted, the whole body responds to it with sleeplessness and fever”.
I keep diaries and notebooks nd journals and blogs..I just love to write. I buy little notebooks with the intention of it just being my scribble book and it turns to a deep dark diary full of all kinds of foolishness. I love to read back on what i've written over the years and its so fun to come over something so so so stupid and wonder is that really meeee!!!My family all know i write everything down I think. They dont know where I keep them tho!
My broz know I have a diary but they know not to touch them if they even see them..my older brother used to write alot ..since he was a lil kid to until i think he was 17 or 18 ..I would see him writing in his book in the corner while everyone's talking..once I found a diary of his and i saw what he wrote and i told him and he'z like..wow i was crazy lolz hahah..but I think it's a healthy thing to write a journal or diary
“The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs is afflicted, the whole body responds to it with sleeplessness and fever”.
lol i remember once i decided to take a book and make it my diary (hehe ) and started writing stuff...cant remember... i remember one thing "when i go to yemen ima be a cool doctor and heal poor people for free! " lol that was like 5 yrs ago
then my brothers found it and took it and read everything and laughed at me and made fun of me and all and showed all there friends and all, then rpped it up nd burnet it and threw it over the american flag.... i totally thank them
lol
i never really wrote anything rael in there. the true secrets i keep inside me. nobody knows. especially a book..coughcough
Lol some amazing, some cute and some totally fishy replies lol
Its all good...In Secondary school, we was a group of 5 friends, and we sorta had like a joint diary/yearbook thing and reading it now is just laughsss! We were just crazy and seeing how we've all changed, matured and gone our seperate ways is just...I dunno its just nice to read.
If anybody was to practise counselling, its important for the counsellor to be aware of their own feelings before they even attempt to listen to the thoughts and feelings of others...I think a LOT of people have something, even if its just a little something personal or private and something they'd never share with anybody. I think keeping a journal is maybe healthy if you just need to vent or make sense of any confuzzlement in life
when i was really really small, i kept a journal diary thin, but many people write diaries for secret stuff lol, i would make it like a wishlist, and after writin stuff like i want a bike football, bla bla, i would leave it on the livin room table with the intention everyone would view it
Jaa-Ro-Nee-Mo!!!
"they ask you when will the help of Allah (swt) come! Certainly Allah (Swt) help is always near"
i use to keep diaries of my memories at school, college , kind of stopped that now, nearly a year! last year i wrote abt how i felt in the summer, because what i was going through.but i like memories, i like writing abt them.

lol why "typical man" , besides, after u "release" your feelings into a book (which cant keep a secret) you get a big load of new stuff to think about. liiiiikke where to hide it, who might see it, what happens when they see it, whats gonna happen with u, ....
keeping it "bottled up" is all kwl. better than talking to paper eh?

There was once a fish named Bish. His heart and mind all but exploded when he had nowhere to vent his emotions and frustrations. He didnt want to talk to a friend since he didnt think he could trust them 100%, he didnt talk to a book either, all he did was take out every single thought in his mind and write it down, he kept his feelings in a safe place so that he could look back some day and see how life had changed for him and whether or not that was for the better or the worse.
He took out any unresolved issues and kept them in this special book. He took out all his hurts and insecurities and put them in it, so that when he met new people and dealt with new issues etc he found that he could deal with them better since his diary helped him make sense of things and help with any unresolved issues and emotions.
Bish was by far more emotionally stable than his twin Fish called Mish, now mish kept everything bottled up and just like a pressure cooker, he blew up one day because he had one emotion and hurt too many in his poor little heart. When Mish died, Bish was verryyy verrry verrryy depressed coz Mish had been a great fish. But Bish poured his heart out in his diary and felt a little better, not a lottle, just a little....but as the saying goes, every little helps

Keep going and it aint gonna be healthy, lol life gets tougher and you need to let things out sometimes, if you got a trustworthy enough friend to talk to then all good for you sis.
But I'm guessing that sometimes the thoughts and feelings are whirling around and are just so confusing and jumbled that you need to put em down on paper and try make sense of em

Fair do's hun, whatever works for you I guess. Lol
There aint anybody you can fully rely on cept Allah (swt), but sometimes we're blessed with good enough friends to place trust in also, Alhamdulillah.
May Allah (swt) keep you happy sis, and go to sleep early before I fish you alive, lol erm, I mean skin you alive lol no wonder you cant get up for fajr
I write my feelings and any hardships i encounter in an imaginary journal in my head , i think so?
But what if that imaginary journal forgets summin you want to remember? Or what if it gets too full that one day you cant deal with it anymore? Or it gets too confusing and messy for you.
Its good also to write the rad things that happen to you, its all about writing your sorrows in the sand so that the wind can blow em away, and the good things in stone so that you can remem and be gr8ful for them always...ooohh yehhh lol
