That not so secret Journal

WARNING!!
I SUSPECT I AM GOING TO GET A LOT OF FLAK FOR THIS POST ABOUT JOURNALING.

“Writing about it in a journal” they said.
“It will be cathartic” they said.
“It will help you organise your thoughts” they said.
Yeah right!!! Biggest mistake ever!

For those of you who are not familiar with a journal, or journaling, let me explain.

A journal is a book or something similar in which you write about details of your life ranging from events, ideas, feelings, poetry, and your daily thoughts and memories.

It is a wonderful tool to use when you are on a journey of growth or healing, as you are able to page back and reflect back on things that you were working on or towards and you can see your progress.

It is also the WORST thing you could possible use when you are in the middle of a relationship crisis, like an affair!!! DO NOT DO THIS!

Regardless of whether you are the cheating partner, the partner who is being cheated on, or the third party/lover/mistress. It’s a BIG BAD IDEA!!!

It is probably the worst advice anyone could possibly give you. Cos once that shit’s in writing, and it lands in the wrong hands, there is no turning back.

It is far more prudent to talk to someone trustworthy about the situation.
Someone who can help you sort through all the crap inside your head.
Someone who is not going to use that shit against you at a later stage.
Someone who can guide you and help you get CLARITY on your situation and what you want to do about it.
