Keep a journal
It doesn't have to be handwritten
There are journaling apps
Some are free
Day One is an example
Some have the ability to upload audio files
If you can't physically type or have a reading or writing disability
Maybe you don't like writing
Maybe you think you don't write well
Doesn't matter
Write anyway
Journals are records
Of personal history
And what is happening in the world around us
Journals communicate our:
Thoughts
Emotions
Fears
Failures
Triumphs
Journals teach future generations:
What we experienced
What we endured
How we survived
They are trying to:
Intimidate us
Silence us
Shame us
Devalue us
In some cases erase us
Your voice
Your accomplishments
Your humanity
Your essence
Will live on
In your journals
Get to it
