Jam Journal

Have you ever been in a Jam? No, not a Jam, but a state of mind where everything seems to have the word suck stamped across it? During this past summer, a few taggers in my childhood town took the liberty of painting the word SUCK across my windshield during a low point my life. Unfortunately, it is easy to get ourselves into unhealthy or unhappy situations, so learning how to climb out of them just as easily is essential.
Piers Morgan held an interview session with Oprah, where he spoke with her about all of the important things in life: love, money, happiness, and brought up a coping mechanism I forgot about .

When Oprah and Piers were on the topic of past relationships, Oprah opened up about a great way to make it through those difficult times at the present moment and laugh later. She mentioned how she began to keep journals at a young age as a means of self expression. In my opinion, this works better than a drunken text or being drunk period ( a new trend in the get over something department.)

Since a large majority of young adults in my generation have become comfortable with sharing feelings on the internet, while relying on feedback from whoever has the time to care, I propose taking the old fashioned route; Keep a journal life becomes overwhelming and difficult. Sometimes writing feelings down gives us all a better chance to evaluate the REAL issue we are facing. For example, are you lonely? feeling down? Your stream of consciousness will usually assist in answering these questions.


Next time you are in a Jam ( which is delicious so I feel guilty giving it a negative connotation), write in an old fashion journal, slow down, breathe, and keep living on the highroad. Maybe later in life, you can even have a fun burning session with your girlfriends.

P.S.
I mean burning the notebooks, not anything illegal. ;)
