"I felt uncomfortable at the beginning but after I was done I felt relieved 😊" - Same for me! So glad you were able to find relief :))
"Starting with this prompt “nobody know that I” .. made me feel much safer & trusting my pen more to write whatever reality that come to my mind (I can say deepest darkest secrets & feelings). It is a bit hurting but I believe it will be healing. Also, it is amazing how writing some stuff give a room for other stuff to pop up to the surface to be seen. ❤️" - I really, truly love that this is the relationship you're now able to have with your notebook and your pen. May you always feel safe to pour out whatever it is that might be weighing you down. ❤️❤️
"I felt uneased at first, writing something I have never even thought of out loud, but I slowly got into it. I convinced myself that I'm writing to myself so it's okay to vent, it's okay to spill out what it's been bottled in. I really liked the prompt, not everything gets to me and wakes up that writing bone, but this sure did !" - Welcome on board! 😍 I'm so happy to know the prompt helped you write. :))
"A new notebook and a new challenge make me feel hopeful. I love it when challenges come exactly when I need them. I'm excited for tomorrow. Honestly I discovered that I'm still too afraid to write certain things because I can't be really sure that no one will ever read it. But I still feel safer with my notebook than anywhere else." - So glad this came right on time for you! I've been overthinking the whole what-if-someone-ends-up-reading-this-later too, and I guess I try to convince myself that no one will have the patience to read all this anyway lol! But it's honestly a real struggle. 🙈
"I was surprised I couldn't write using the 2nd prompt writing to someone. I decided to give myself time and I'll get back to it in shaa Allah" - Yess, totally take your time with it! It's okay (:
"Yes! I twisted the prompt around though. I started a series of poems called Things I never told you . It's not about secrets or things I'd hidden, but rather things I shouldn't have experienced alone, things I overthink now and wish I'd told someone. That specific someone is the "you" I never told." - Woaaahh! This is brilliant!
"Yes yes yes 😍😍" - Yay!!
"Today's prompt really took me places. I wrote about things for the first time and I wrote way more than I usually do. It was emotional but I enjoyed it." - Wow :') Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
"Very helping" - Yay, alhamdulilah!
"I believe it is really helping.. I don’t think that without the prompts I would ever write what I’ve written, thoughts & ideas that I never realized are in my mind actually 🤯" - I was thinking the same thing this morning!! (':
"Very helpful" - Yay!!
"Writing my confessions is a bit exhausting, but I feel it is an important part of my healing process 🙂 I write things I never shared with anyone. I don’t even allow myself to think of." - Please remember to take a break from the theme and the prompts if you ever felt too drained by it. I'm really glad you're able to trust the pages though alhamdulillah! ❤️
"I wrote way more than I thought I would, I feel much lighter الحمد لله. I also feel connected. I think that the more honest I am with myself in confronting the thoughts I usually try to avoid, the more I understand myself and the more I witness the power of writing." - Yesssss :') Truest thing ever ❤️❤️ I'm really happy for you!
"I don't think I have parts I don't like but I still have some difficulty in finding time or having so much I want to write about or feeling unease about a certain point at the beginning. Now I can say my least favourite part when the day ends and I couldn't find time to write." - Wow, I really love that last sentence. :') I hope you're always able to make time for it!
"Yes ♥️ For the first time in my life, I write I don’t feel guilty about anything and I’m only asking for Allah forgiveness and not a human being. I’ve a feeling that writing my prayers in the previous challenge made me realize how merciful Allah is. ♥️♥️♥️ احساس حلو اوى بجد 🥰🥰" - This made me smile sooo wiiiiidee! I'm sososo happy you no longer feel guilty and that this is the effect that journaling now has on you. :') Such an inspiration!! ♥️ ربنا يديم عليكي الاحساس ده دايما يارب
"I enjoyed this one. I feel I need mire time to grasp what I came out with but I don't want to miss the next challenge 😅" - Ohh, I'll make sure to have us do some free writing after this challenge inshaAllah so you can take your time :))
"♥️" - 😍
