Writing Through Chaos: How Iranian Youth Find Peace in Journals During Times of War

🕊️ Introduction:

When missiles fly and news updates are filled with fear, the human soul seeks shelter. For many young people in Iran, that shelter is found not in bunkers, but on blank pages.

In recent weeks, as tensions rise across the region and cities tremble under the sound of explosions, a quiet resistance has emerged — through writing. Whether it's a diary, a bullet journal, or simply a scrap of paper, writing has become a way to breathe again.

🖋️ Writing as Therapy During War

Psychologists call it expressive writing therapy — the simple act of putting feelings into words. Studies have shown that journaling during times of trauma can reduce anxiety, stabilize emotions, and even improve sleep. For many in Iran, especially the youth, writing is no longer a hobby — it's survival.

“When I hear sirens, I don't run. I write. It's my way of staying sane.”
— A 19-year-old student from Isfahan

📓 What Do They Write?

Letters to the future

Daily emotional check-ins

• Fears, prayers, dreams
  • Descriptions of the present chaos, as a way to process it

This writing isn't shared. It isn't for likes. It’s private. Raw. Healing.
