Then vs. Now...

I’ve been sharing these pages every day for almost 5 years, so they are my daily journal of sorts. And the wonderful thing about a daily journal is the insight it gives you into what your past self was thinking. Like today, because when I looked back to what I wrote on the 28th of December last year, what I was thinking and feeling back then is pretty much identical to what I’m thinking and feeling today.

Being able to look back and know that we’ve felt this way before can be strangely soothing, just as being able to look back and see how far we’ve come can be empowering and even inspiring. Obviously, the only way to get true insight on then vs now is to have written something back then…. but if you want to give that gift to your future self, you can start writing something now…
