I am a long-time journaler, and journaling has always been a
therapeutic and cathartic practice for me, always helping my mental
health stay the strongest. My fondness for the healing practice of
journaling has been behind the idea of creating a new journal for
those like me, who love expressing their thoughts, feelings, and
emotions on paper.
The cover of the journal features a beach from Cuba -- it's
located in the Holguin province in the Eastern part of Cuba, and
the reason why I selected this image to be the cover of my newly
created journal is because it was a place of peace and serenity for
me when I went there, on one of my previous vacations to Cuba from
a few years ago. On that particular day, when I found myself at the
beach, there was no one else in sight, a rare opportunity in exotic
places like Cuba. From all my exotic vacations at the seaside or
oceanside from over the years, I had very few opportunities to have
the beach all to myself and take pictures like this one, with no
other humans in sight. And this was one such occasion, when I was
by myself on this beautiful tropical beach, and when I could take
this serene, calm, and peaceful picture, which is now the cover of
my new journal -- a serene, calm, and peaceful place where one can
record one's thoughts and feelings, undisturbed.
The journal "Things I Don't Share on Social Media" is available on
Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, as well as all the other Amazon sites around
the world. Please check it out, and I hope you will enjoy your
writing experience!
