Journals and Worry

[TrustYourSoul]

I recently revised my Will. My last Will was done 15 years ago when I got cancer again, but I survived. My attorney asked me for a list of items and who I want to receive them. Mostly no problem.... then I had the thought that one day when I leave this Earth, my journals will be discovered.... all of my past pain, depression, names of others that I wished would be struck by lightning, good and bad thoughts..... I have journaled for years, but I wouldn't want Anyone to read them.

I have only gone back and read old entries a few times, usually to remind myself about how far I have come and survived from some pretty significant things.

Should I burn them all now, so nobody will see them, in case a bus runs over me tomorrow? I actually planned on going for a couple more decades, but you never know. If I light the match, I wonder how I would feel about destroying my writings and watching them go up in flames. I also wouldn't want to be sitting on a rock in heaven, screaming in horror as I look down and see/hear someone reading my private thoughts. I think it's against the rules to scream and freak out in Heaven, but I don't know what the punishment would be. 🤤🤔

All comments and ideas are welcome. I am quite torn about this one thing.... Thank you.💜🙇‍♀️

Hi DoNotQuit I personally have never liked journaling and yet I love to write.

One of the reasons is probably the one you brought up in that those

written words could hurt the ones we loved. After all, they were written

at a time of great emotional pain.

Only you can make that decision as in what to do with your journaling.

Before you destroy them, think seriously about how you will feel in not being

able to look back on your memories both good and bad.

I'm sure you will make the right decision for yourself. As for Heaven, I don't think

there will be a punishment for writing offensive words to those who hurt you. *Since

they are just words and not actions.... My best to you xx
