Everyone gets frustrated sometimes. Occasionally, this can get to the point where you have to vent your feelings; or you feel like you’ll explode. We’ve talked about texting and emailing as ways to vent these feelings. However sometimes you aren’t in the mood to talk to anyone, or maybe you’re mad at the people you usually talk to. You still have these feelings though, and you know they need to come out.

In this case, a good way to vent your feelings is through a private journal. You don’t have to worry about what you say, because the only person who gets to see it is you. This can be a great way to let out your feelings, which can avoid arguments and hurting other peoples feelings.

Another more public way to vent your feelings is in an online journal. This can be through a blog, or one of the many social media platforms out there. Now you might not want to get into the tiny personal details publicly, but there are still a great many advantages of venting this way. First of all, you can get advice about your problems from people who have more life experience, knowledge or simply a different perspective than you. Also your venting does not always have to be about your problems, you can tell your friends what you have been up to, or about a special event in your life. Many sites also have room for pictures, so you can add photos from your latest outing, show others your latest art project, or whatever else comes to mind really.

You should be careful with what you say online though. You never know who will be reading it. If you are complaining about your someone you know, you could find yourself having to try to explain your words to them later on. It is not worth ruining a close relationship like this just because you were mad. This is where it would be good to draw the line between what goes online, and what goes into a more private journal.

Overall, the point is that sometimes you just need to get things out and release your feelings.
