I tell everyone this and I mean it. Buy a journal. Carry it with you everywhere you go. And I mean everywhere. Write about your favorite moments, your least favorite moments, ideas, grocery lists, people youβve met, strangers youβve walked past on the street, favorite quotes, words to remember, what the sky looked like at 7pm, new songs youβve discovered and what they mean to you, your childhood, places you want to go or places youβve been, write about your passions, how you feel in this exact moment, draw out the mountains, scribble all over the pages. And when that one gets full, buy a new one. Reread it in 2 years, 20 years, when you need a good laugh, when youβre crying on your bathroom floor, read it to your children. You need to remember these moments in your life. They are so important.
