How ‘Between the Lines’ journal came to be

I created this journal to help just one person out there, maybe someone who’s busy walking the same difficult path I have.

Journaling was my lifeline. It brought me closer to the person I was meant to become, and I know this journal might do the same for someone struggling like I did.

It’s terrifying being alone with your thoughts. Eventually, they become an echo chamber of misery, growing louder, warping who you are until you don’t recognise yourself anymore. They strip away your value and filled with thoughts that aren’t truly yours. Funny enough, they’re created by something inside that’s trying to protect you, but knows no boundaries.

“Between the Lines” exists because that was my journey. Until the day I stopped, took a hard look at my life and realised: I am the reason. I’m the one making myself feel small. I’m letting these thoughts consume me. And I needed to own that before I could change it.

I had so many empty journals waiting patiently for me to fill them. I needed to change, and this was the only way forward I could see. So I started writing. Words became sentences, and eventually, patterns emerged. I added psychological tips that I uncovered during my journey, including readings from various books.

To this  day I am still humbled by the power of putting your thoughts down. So let ‘Between the Lines’ be your safe space to share, feel and, discover. I hope this helps someone, someday.
