Hi Adeline, welcome to the Medium community! I can’t, don’t, and won’t pretend to know anything about writing although that’s part of my day job. I’m here for similar reasons as yours. And I don’t like keeping a diary anymore. I stopped doing that entirely maybe 3-4 years ago. Before that, I kept quitting and returning, quitting again and returning again, as if I was in some crazy co-dependent toxic relationship. Since journaling isn’t for me as I feel funny writing just to myself with whom I suspect I am most dishonest, I sought and fortunately discovered Medium. I, too, prefer writing on this platform where I find myself vulnerable but can hold myself accountable not only to what I say but also how I express myself. It forces me to be deliberate, precise, and concise with words, rhyme unintended. And I’ll let you or someone know when I’ve succeeded there. Happy writing!
