I am looking to start getting into this. But I have never enjoyed writing. I also feel a little iffy knowing that my diaries are sitting around somewhere in my room and my family can find it at any moment. If I were to type it would be faster, more secure as I can encrypt it, and it would not get lost as easily as I can upload the encrypted file to a cloud.

However, is typing any less effective at making you feel better than writing?

    Do whichever lets your thoughts flow more freely. I type because I don’t have to think about how to do it, whereas handwriting takes a lot of extra brainpower since I do it so infrequently. There’s no wrong answer though!
