In difficult times how do you find the pen again?

Recently I've really struggled to open my journal and write. I didn’t want to write what is going on in my mind as it is all negative. Being honest with myself I didn’t want to one day read back my negative thoughts as that would depress me even more. A vicious circle I didn’t want to get myself into.

The world isn’t a very nice please at the moment, and in my little world a lot isn’t going to plan. A lot of upsets, a lot of issues I’ve struggled to deal with or find a happy ending.
