If you're feeling stuck… try this ✍️
When I feel far from myself…
I write.
Not for content.
Not for clarity.
Not for anyone else to read.
Just for me.
There’s something about pen and paper that doesn’t let you lie.
The page becomes a mirror.
And the pen calls me out every damn time.
I’ve been doing morning pages for almost a decade now.
Stacked journals full of messy thoughts, half-written dreams, heartbreak hangovers, and whispered prayers.
Sometimes it’s nonsense.
Sometimes it’s magic.
Sometimes it’s both.
But always — it brings me back.
Back to my body.
Back to my truth.
Back to that soft little voice underneath the noise.
And the wildest part?
If I try to write something that isn’t aligned
The pen literally stops.
Like my body says: nah babe, not that.
Not this time.
So if you’re feeling stuck today
Not sure what you want, what you feel, where the f*ck you’re going…
Try this:
Put your phone away.
Light a candle if it helps.
Grab a pen and just… start.
No prompt. No pressure. No performance.
Let your soul spill.
Let the words run wild.
Let the truth catch up to you.
🕯️ Writing might not give you the answers.
But it will remind you that you already have them.
With you, in the mess and the magic,
