What this space is
The CJ Journal is part diary, part essay collection and part creative playground. It holds the honest bits of life that rarely make it onto polished timelines. The days that feel heavy. The ones that feel golden. The ones that are simply grey and in between.
You will find reflections on mental health, identity, creativity, everyday chaos and the tiny joys that make it worth trying again tomorrow. Some pieces read like letters to a friend. Others are closer to poetry.
Who is behind it
This is where you can add your bio in your own voice. Share just enough context so people feel like they know who is writing to them.
The good, the bad and the beautiful
Posts are loosely grouped into three strands. The good holds gratitude, wins and softness. The bad explores grief, stress, frustration and the moments you would usually hide. The beautiful covers poetry, nature, art and the unexpected tenderness hiding in everyday life.
Life never fits neatly into one box. This space honours all three.
