Journaling
Hello! First time in the doing anything like this, so please bear with me! There isn’t a place for people to post or talk about their journaling, which can be very helpful to others. So I decided to make one … even though I’ve never done anything remotely close to this. ———————————————————————— Welcome
This is a community for all journal related things prompts, questions, showing off, really anything relating to journaling. Always on the move, show off your everyday carry journal set up. Don’t write down paragraphs upon paragraphs of words, no worries! No matter how you journal or how you decide to keep your journal this community is for anyone who wants to share or just excited to see others set ups. ———————————————————————— Rules
— No hateful conduct
Due to the nature of journaling posts can be very personal. Anyone who is found to be overly negative or discriminatory towards another member within this community will receive repercussions relative to the situation. Have basic etiquette, this community is based on positivity and that will remain my goal throughout.
— No spam
Spam will be considered as posting the same content more than three times. ———————————————————————— Note
As this is my first time creating a community please let me know if there are any rules I should implement. I am completely open to feedback and criticism as long as it’s for the best interest of the community.

I live with my spouse, and no one else, so I tend to be pretty honest. Anything I write, I've probably at least hinted at to her already and the only scenario where she'd actively read looking for data is one where e.g., I was unconscious and she needed to know when I last logged that I had taken some medicine or etc.
In other living scenarios, I've found it much more difficult to be that open and honest - not because I didn't trust the people I lived with, but because if ever I accidentally walked away from a page without closing it, it might well be difficult for someone to avoid seeing.
As @[email protected] points out, languages and alternative scripts come in handy here as well. I don't use it often, but I'm still passingly comfortable with a rune set I used way back in high school to pass notes with friends. It's hardly 'secure,' but avoids legitimate accidental glances.
How the hell I remember that script thirty years later, I've not a clue, especially since I'm fairly certain we made part of it up from whole cloth way back when.
I tend not to commit to writing things that would be particularly indefensible, or at least to be circuitous about it if I do. Just because I haven't anything particular to hide today does not mean that I won't need to hide a thought or feeling in the foreseeable future.
