Especially in a time of heightened emotions and passionate responses, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Sometimes, the best way to manage that is to let it out – whether it be in a physical journal, on Tumblr or wherever feels most comfortable. Don’t overthink it, Hemingway and Fitzgerald wannabe’s – just let the feelings flow, and reevaluate later. I promise, it will feel infinitely better to put words to the feelings that have been bogging you down, and you may find a new outlet that you never expected. Show it to the world, keep it private – regardless, it was a brave endeavor.
For those looking to make their work a little more public, make a Tumblr account or start your own blog, whether it be through WordPress, Blogger or the like. Websites like Medium and Thought Catalog allow contributors to submit personal essays through their platforms – and who knows, maybe you’ll find a whole new passion through it.
Regardless of whether you’re looking for a community, recognition or complete privacy, there’s nothing wrong with typing or penning those feelings out. Write it down, and allow yourself to move forward. Turn the page.
