A Micro-Journal by T. S. Bauk
Below you will find my journal. I journal as a means of self-expression, born out of a need to process my thoughts and experiences and a desire to feel heard.
​
You'll see short, daily entries. I make these entries in order to build a habit and maintain a practice of journaling. I do this to build mental health, heal past wounds, treasure old memories, celebrate moments of beauty, and create my understanding of myself and my world.
​
You will also find entries categorized as FFR (ForFutureReference). These are ideas I have that I may want to explore or revisit later. These are scraps that I may weave together someday into an insight, a practice, or a project. Or I may forget them and move on from. I leave them here for now, just in case.
​
I don't intend to seek an audience, but if you have found this site, feel free to explore. Sift through my memories. Weigh my ideas. Take what is useful and leave anything that is not to your liking.
Thoughts from Inside My Lair

​
To get myself journaling consistently, I came up with the idea of micro-journaling according to a set of guidelines developed to take away the intimidation I felt every time I tried to start a journaling about. (You can read about that here.)
And if you would like to journal, but need a little prompting, consider subscribing to my "nudge" service. Subscribers will receive a daily email prompting them to journal and offering a question, prompt, photo, or other springboard for thought.
