This subject came to my mind last week. I had been feeling a little down and I wanted to vent to someone but then I realized that I had no one to vent too. Well, of course I have friends and I have family but sometimes I just feel like I dont have anyone who understands how I am feeling at the moment. I feel like you can tell them what is going on, but do they truly get where you are coming from? Do they understand what you are saying? Have they put themselves in your shoes to get a clear understanding before they agree or disagree? Can you trust that person with the information that you are giving them? Those are the things that circles in my mind before I vent to someone. Instead, I vent to myself. What do I mean? Let's take it back to the younger years where people had this little book called a "Diary". Others call it a journal. Am I to old for one of those? Hecks no! Let me tell yall something, this journal will save your lives and your relationships with people. I vent to my journal. When there is something that's going on in my life that I can't deal with, I write about it. If I had a bad day, I write about it. Even if there is something going on in my life that is fantastic, I write about it. You know what that does, it keeps my business to myself. You ever wonder why your business keeps getting around the whole city or the whole world? Its because your venting to so many people. So maybe it wasnt the first person you told. Or even the second person you told. But I bet, by the time you got to that third person and vented about your whole life, they probably done told their friend about your issues and then their friends done told somebody else. The next thing you know, your the topic of social media. The whole town is talking about you all because you decided to vent to everyone. Some things arent meant for many people to know. Some things you can keep to yourself. Writing it down in your own person journal not only clears your mind, but it helps you grow. You may start out with so much anger at the beginning, only to realize that over time, you have developed into someone better than you ever thought you could be. It releases alot of stress as well. One minute your pissed off, but once you start writing and letting it out, the next thing you know you arent mad anymore. You can keep it in your own personal place where no one can find it. It's the best thing I could have done with my life. The best part about it is, no one knows my business! So who do you vent too?
