Lines Between Living

Last week was about saying the thing out loud.

Naming it without softening it.

This week is different.

This is about staying after the truth is spoken.

Journal therapy isn’t relief.

It’s containment.

The page holds what the body has been carrying

so it doesn’t spill into every conversation, every silence, every night.

Nothing magically changes after honesty.

The job still exists.

The weight still shows up in the morning.

So this week, the practice looks like this:

Write one sentence that tells the truth

without fixing it.

Notice where the tension lives today

and let that place speak first.

Name where your energy went

without asking it to make sense yet.

Finish the sentence,

“I am no longer explaining why I ___.”

End the page knowing this:

Nothing is resolved,

but everything has a place now.
