# A private place for the writing that isn't ready to be read.

_No prompts. No mood scoring. No suggestion that you should be further along than you are._

Some writing needs to be done before it's ready to be read — even by the person who wrote it. Grief writing is often like this. So is early recovery.

The Sealed Journal does not interpret what you write. It does not graph it. It does not nudge.

It holds the page. The work is yours.

## Questions

### Is this a substitute for therapy?

No. It is a private place to put things down between sessions, or when there is no session to wait for.

### Do I have to keep what I write?

Not at all. Many people write and delete in the same sitting; the relief comes from finishing the sentence, not from the archive.

### Will anything I write be analysed or scored?

Never. There is no sentiment analysis, no mood tracking, and no algorithm reading your worst night back to you.
