I use an app from calm.com  that has all kinds of self-care content. There are daily check-ins of various kinds and one is the journal - this is selected samples from that journal. My phone provider has a deal with calm to give us free premium accounts and I took advantage of it. I love this app and recommend it, although I have no idea how much you pay if you don't get it included like I do.

1 - If you could give any advice to someone young who is starting their adult life, what advice would that be? Find your path. Look in unexpected places and with strangers. If it is not what you expect or maybe not what you want, don't fear it, embrace it. I'm talking you path in life, not your job, but who you really are inside. It took me ages to find who I really am, but it was worth the effort. If it is part of your path, than find God on your terms, not on the terms of an establishment. If God is not part of that path, don't feel less for it and don't be angry of those who chose faith - we are all different and no two of us see the world quite the same. Seek joy and companionship if desired, but don't make it your life entirely. Explore where and when you can, but don't be foolish and harm yourself with that exploration. 2 - Have you ever thought God failed you at any point in your life? Why? Yes when I lost the ability to work at a young age, I thought God...

This is July 18, 2026 and on the 20th Mom will have been dead for 14 long years. I don't have the words to express how much we cared about each other. I loved he more than my own life. I will never stop missing her. She will always be a part of my very existence. To watch her waste away and to no longer be able to take care of her where by far the hardest things I faced in this life. When she passed, part of me left with her and the hole will never be filled by anything. One day dear Mom, we will be together again. For now I think of all the good days we had, all the times we laughed and cried together. I sat by your side that night and watched you slowly slip away. I would not have been any other place but with you. You gave me a lifetime of love and care, it was the least I could do to be with you in the end. What I would not give to have one more coffee outing with you, or one more game of cards, or to just sit and watch the news with you. One day good lady we will be together a...

It does not matter what you do for this world. It does not matter how many lives you brighten. It does not matter what you give to people. If enough people know you exist, you will be hated - it's a sad reality. When I was able, I gave my time to charity. I have always shared my art with the world to use and to download for free. I try every day to make people think and to make them know someone cares. The vast majority of interactions in my life are positive to say the least. But there is always going to be negative ones, you can't get around that. The mind that hate has no real pride in themselves - they will scream that they do, but the look inside and project the vile they see in themselves on the world. It is said that all people have some good in them, but I know that's not true. There are people who are only bad inside - rotten like trash on a hot day. There are thing I will never give into. One is seeing myself as not worthy of love, kindness and joy. Another is my ...
