Thoughts on Trauma and Movement

by Juan Villegas

Journaling is how I get my thoughts out of my head, so I don’t have to keep dwelling on the same thought process repeatedly. Journaling helps me to let go of emotional baggage. When I began journaling I did not like it at first, I felt it was difficult, a bit useless and part of me wanted to write the perfect thing. Now I cannot live without journaling and I have let go (I think) of the need to write something meaningful.
