Yes, morning pages - absolutely! I started writing morning pages since last summer, and although I skip them once in a while, I stick to the habit quite satisfactorily and it just enriches my life so much. I couldn't go without this introspection anymore. Keeps me sane, for real!

I know where you're coming from with regards to restrictions, and I would go so far as to agree we do have our limitations as humans, but ultimately we have the free will to make conscious choices on whether or not to live under those so called restraints.

I love my diaries, been writing them since I was a teen.. So by the looks of it we do have a fair amount of things in common. lovely! thanks for your thoughtful comment :)
